Synopsis

⁣This experimental film delves into the century-old history of Hong Kong’s iconic tram system. Through a nonlinear collage of industrial materials — wood, concrete and steel — the film reconstructs the tram as a contested vessel of cultural identity, embodying the tensions and transformations of urban modernity.

About Director

⁣We are a group of film-makers who care a lot about the traditional culture and we do think that we have to preserve and treasure them. This is also because of our very distinctive cultural background but we hold very similar ideologies when we are facing different changes and modifications in the modern days, which makes our cultural tradition slowly fade out of our sight, which we do think is a pity, and we are determined to preserve the culture. We identify ourselves as a conservationist and the idea of preservation is deeply embedded in our first collaborative experimental film.
