In midst of growing social turmoil in Hong Kong, a new wave of creative expression emerges to address the city’s socio-political struggles and search for identity. The 《Hong Kong Contemporary Film Festival 》strives to challenge dated conceptions of Hong Kong cinema and transform nostalgia into renewed action. Together with local and overseas collaborators, Distill HK [ 川 ] presents the works of independent filmmakers as an intergenerational and transnational dialogue. These moving images become a critical lens on the pressing issues that are part of the global discourse. Through a 3-night festival in New York with Cantonese cuisine and retro-pop music, alongside a live-streamed panel discussion in Hong Kong, we invite both communities to reexamine Hong Kong’s current cultural climate and rediscover its creative voice together.
