Against the Clock
Directed by: Kwan Reia Colette
Hong Kong︳2’49”︳In English with English subtitles
Against The Clock opens with the filmmaker narrating how society pressures her to embrace big, worldly events and “make the most of time.” We see how momentous events leave her feeling like time is slipping by – something feels lost, not gained - causing her anxiousness until she hits a revelation. We see her take joy in small objects and small moments that bring comfort, then strength. As the piece ends, she removes a clock from a wall and resolves to control time.

Between Two Ears
Directed by: Benson Koo
Hong Kong︳13'36"︳In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles
The antidote to loneliness may be found between the two ears instead of legs. Financially ruined, Kwong is ready to go by sleeping pills, until his attention is called to a TV commercial of a sex hotline. He is connected to a female voice who calls herself Sugar, who, initially flirtatious, becomes alarmed at the weeping suicidal voice on the other end. Sugar then tries to keep Kwong on the line by sharing her own life. Inspired by an article about a disabled sex worker, the short is a tribute to these alternative sex workers.
