Fear(less) and Dear

Anson Hoi Shan MAK 2020 Hong Kong Documentary color 106min Chinese DCP
Hong Kong has been going through one of the toughest periods of its history due to a society turbulent and the COVID-19 pandemic that has swept the globe. Director and visual artist Anson MAK invites three local artists, who are also parents— performing artist and district councillor Clara CHEUNG, political comic artist Justin WONG and writer CHEUNG Yuen-Man—to genuinely share their stories regarding the notion of fear. How do young parents feel? What do they think about fear, their kids and the future? Their artworks also powerfully respond to political unrest and personal innermost emotions, as this film in itself.
