Hong Kong No Wave
—— Independent Films from the SAR
This is two prosperous cities meeting on a narrow path.
Routines have smoothened the rough edges, as if nothing has disrupted their increasingly similar appearances. But memories and reality keep interrupting these simple stories, asking questions. Beneath the mirror-like stillness, life is in abundance. There are noises even when there is no wave.
A showcase of moving images from outside the mainstream of Hong Kong's film industry. A look at the production and consumption of visuals by the seven million inhabitants of Hong Kong in the past 15 years – within their reality and beyond their imagination. Be it documentary or fiction, weaving in and out of these images, is an attempt to understand Hong Kong and to face up one's dreams.
These are two cities so similar that they draw out a sense of homesickness from each other. But this time, the Hong Kong that walks towards us is a stranger, it beckons the stranger within us. Lion Rock, Suzhou Creek, they are no more; but 2046 is upon us.

无浪城市——香港独立影像展
这是两座繁荣城市的窄路相逢。
日常生活把彼此铺平，似乎没有一道巨浪打破愈发相似的风景。但记忆和现实却纠缠和打乱着那些庸常的故事，并提出疑问。平静的水面之下，是生猛鱼虾的自由游曳。波澜不惊处，未必没有拒斥的声音。
这次我们将集中展映一批香港主流电影工业以外的影像，看视觉如何在这过去的十五年间，在700万香港人的现实之内和想象之外，被生产和咀嚼。纪录抑或虚构，穿梭在这些影像内外的，是尝试理解香江，并面对自己的愿望。
这是两座相像到容易唤出乡愁的城市。但这次迎面走来的，却是一个陌生的香港，召唤出陌生的自己。狮子山不再，苏州河不复。2046很近。
