 JR-relationship
 
The Relationship We Never Speak Of
Directed by: Lui Liao Chung Yin 
Hong Kong︳06'22"︳In Cantonese with Chinese subtitles
The three of them went to the beach to reminisce about the past, showing each other's care for the people they value. Until the last thing happened, the three of them realised the problems between them. Can the entangled friendship between the three of them be relieved in the end?
 
JR-against

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.

JR-stand

Stand up again
Directed by: Qiang Chen
China︳08’08”︳In Putonghua with Chinese and English subtitles
This animation is a part of the healing project I have cooperated with West China Medical University. It tells the story of me and my friends to inspire everyone to face up to psychological diseases, dare to ask for help and live a healthy life!

JR-parade

The Parade
Directed by: Ryan Benjamin Lee NA
Singapore︳05’15”︳In English with English subtitles
In Singapore, politics is seen as a cautious dance. However, in this lively film, the city becomes a vibrant street parade filled with pop culture, karaoke and colour.

JR-paper

Paperplanes
Directed by: Nikhita Prabhudesai, Arvind Singh Jeena
India︳06’52”︳No Dialogue and Subtitles
A noisy, hyper-mischievous classroom of 4th graders are caught off-guard as the teacher walks in unannounced, which is followed by a surprise test of creativity and character.

JR-cloud

Life of Cloud
Directed by: Chan Wai Yee Wylie
Hong Kong︳21'58"︳In Cantonese and English with Chinese and English subtitles
Ah Hung is obsessed with creating his own cloud but he died suddenly in his sleep before he could complete his work. When he opens his eyes, he has to decide whether his life is meaningful or not on his afterlife so that he can head to heaven or hell...

JR-ear

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.
