Untitled
Directed by: Chan Wing Hei Sytric
Hong Kong︳25’00”︳in English with English subtitles

Hong Kong︳5’00”︳In Cantonese with Chinese subtitles
A student is bullied by three school bullies, and there should be a fair judgement but everything is wrapped inside a “lie”. Everyone’s words are mixed with lies. The truth could also be a lie, or there is another game behind, at the mercy of others.
WHERE ARE ME GO
Directed by: Chen Shun Yin
Hong Kong︳13’33”︳in Cantonese with no subtitles
Where should I go? I am about to enter the job market, and there are still so many questions. Should I go chase my dream, or just be a so-called normal person? I am not sure if I want to chase my dream, the road of dream chasing is a hard one, and with the pressure from my family, so what should I do?
The Freedom of student
Directed by: Pang Shun Yin
Hong Kong︳23’33”︳In Cantonese with No Subtitles
A boarding school penalises student for having their own interest in order to keep them focused on their studies.

Underpalace
Directed by: Chiu Ka Yin, Pak King Tai, Li Tsun Wai
Hong Kong︳9’14”︳In Cantonese with Chinese subtitles
Youth is a sensational journey, after joy, what is left for us? Or we may never find the answer, or we may already have the answer in our hearts. Along the wet and sticky tunnel, step by step, we deconstruct the sorrow of the youth, sublimate pain and pressure, which pair up the codes between the unreal and the reality.
Blur

Hong Kong︳8’22”︳In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles
This is a story of a young creator. After lots of thinking, questioning himself, and interacting with others, everything finally integrates into his blood and flesh. The story of the colouring of the originally transparent “I” and how he finally feels like growing up.
The Maze of Identity
