1. 30《30》

CHENG Ying Tung 鄭映彤 | 30'

A traumatic event in an undefined time and space that immerses us. Traumas are irresistible, they travel through time and space, allowing us to simply exist in the present, exploring the space and those who have been in it, making it a thought-provoking and healing experience.

2. Nausea 《嘔吐》

WU Tsz Ki 胡芷淇 | 22'56"

A story of the contemporary loneliness by situating a mother and daughter's interactions within a house.

3. My River Runs to Thee 《我們在憂鬱的夏天把自己殺死了》

TAM Lok Yee Christy 譚樂怡 | 21'54"

Ancient tales whisper of rivers divine: Beneath the bridge, a holy waterline. The masses believe it can absolve the sin, cleansing the soul from deep within.

Relics of the departed are set adrift, a final gift, creating a rift between the earthly and the heavenly - a practice of liberation, a journey of serenity.

Two souls, a man and a woman, strangers in their plight, caught in a dance between shadow and light, illusion and reality taking flight due to a man.

Through the eye of a camera, their solitary paths intertwine. In each other, they find salvation, their inner gloom dissolving in the river's undulation.

4. Ahead, Far Ahead《海底隧道》

WU Leong Hin 胡諒軒 | 29’59”

This film centers around a young man named Lai Hoi-fai, who works at a video store in Hong Kong. His main job is to digitize old family videos from tapes. One day, by chance, he meets a customer of a similar age named Ah Yan. Together, they visit the toll booth in the Western Tunnel where Hoi-fai's mother works, and through their journey, they express their helplessness towards separation and change.

III. Selection of Student Animation Works

Venue: M6050, Level 6

1. My Little Sunflower

SZETO Pui Kuen

2024 | 3’ | Language: English | With subtitles in English

“Sunflowers reach for the warmth of the sun; roses with their thorns long for a tender embrace filled with love."

Inspired by my own childhood experiences, I speak on behalf of my younger self and the voices of powerless children that have been neglected. Through a 2D animation, the sunflower and rose represent growth, exploring the complex love-hate dynamics within a family and expressing the unbearable pain when one's closest loved ones cannot understand you.

2. Journey Beyond

YING Valerie Naomi

2024 | 3’31” | No dialogue

Journey Beyond is a captivating 3-minute 2D hand-drawn animation that delves into the intriguing realm of afterlife from a fun and positive perspective. The animation describes what a person would encounter in the after death, but in an abstract way. This animation takes viewer on a transformative journey through various stages of the afterlife, providing a glimpse into what awaits individuals beyond the mortal realm.

3. Drowning 沉溺

Yorki LEE 李若綨

2022 | 4’48” | No dialogue

When ignorance, loneliness, chaos, and craving fill the brain, what does it feel like to be alive? In a sick society, a sick person arises. This person maybe you and I. In the story, the interaction between the lonely girl and the plant, the weird delusion, and the incomprehensible desire explore the feeling of being alive. The word “drowning” means the girl couldn’t feel anything in her life, and she gets drowning in her delusion. I used 2D animation to present the inner world of the little girl and describe her mysterious delusion journey.

4. Spark

LAM Wing Sze, WONG Chuk Kwan 林穎施˴黃竹君

2020-21 | 11’37” | Language: Cantonese | With subtitles in Chinese

Spark is an interactive animation. Audiences can watch it on mobile platforms. It is a story about the promise between a loyal robot dog, Laika and his best friend, Sputnik. They get on a ride and start the journey of finding their dream fireworks. In our animation, firework is used to connect the whole story. For each chapter, we will use the firework which brings special meaning to the main characters, Sputnik and Laika as the symbol of the scenes. At the same time, the firework will be used as the topic of the scenes as well. So, our animation can be more complete and audiences can easily know what will happen in the chapters. Since Spark is an interactive animation, audiences instead of only watching the animation, they can do different interaction to push the story goes on. Audiences can click, drag, and puzzle to interact with the story, so that they can easily to understand the feelings of the characters.

5. Mindfulness 無念

TSUI Wing Ki, Leslie 徐頴淇

2021 | 3’50” | No dialogue

Mindfulness is a story about inner peace and self-acceptance. A fisherman sits alone by the lake, but the distractions around him make him restless. As his anxiety grows, his chaotic thoughts take shape as spirits that disturb him, gradually pulling him into an emotional whirlpool...

Be self-aware, calm our mind, and we may return to a state of tranquility.

6. L'appel du Vide(o)

Thomas LEUNG 梁宇浩 (Animator), Cyrus LEUNG (Composer)

2022 | 4’23” | No dialogue

Gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will sue you for harassment... or something like that.

7. The Womb Was A Tomb

WONG Yuen Tong

2024 | 4’ | No dialogue

The Womb Was A Tomb is a 3D short film exploring the themes of sexual violence, body-mind interconnectedness, and symbolism of tarot cards. The virtual environment depicts the biological manifestation of one’s psyche after trauma. Inspired by “The Tower” and “The Star” of tarot cards, the womb’s ecosystem undergoes a transformative process from destruction to rebirth.

8. Cycle

WONG Ka Chun

2024 | 5’23” | No dialogue

We resemble machines or robots, appearing as though we were born solely for work. We have lost touch with life and find ourselves trapped in a never-ending cycle: work, eat, sleep, and repeat. There seems to be no escape from this cycle.
