Very Fantastic

So Man Yee 2003 Hong Kong Animation color 8min DV
This film creates a Hong Kong pre-war inner space and leads the audience to walk inside a nine-square paper to express Hong Kong's bizarre space of crowded streets and narrow lanes. It also utilizes the boundless special effects of animation to express the peculiar space features of the old buildings in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, this film provides some introspection on the present cultural fashion in Hong Kong that eagerly develops "new" build and abandons "old" spaces. It also wishes to urge the Hong Kong people to preserve their unique heritage.
