Share The Hong Kong Film Festival UK, HKFF (UK), aims to shine an international spotlight on Hong Kong’s creativity and humanity through film. The festival also strives to promote cultural interactions and exchanges between Hong Kong communities and UK citizens. Hong Kong’s world-renowned cinema was born out of its unique history and rich social context. Building on this vivid and eclectic history, the Festival aims to introduce a new wave of Hong Kong cinema that has blossomed in an era of drastic transformation. It is time to tell Hong Kong’s story again, to preserve and promote Hong Kong's cultural heritage, and to reflect on the city's enchanting, complex, and challenging reality from a fresh perspective.
Description
Short Film Programme: The Inbetweeners 短片集：不港不英
Programme introduction:
The Inbetweeners is a series of 5 short films surrounding stories of people or pieces of land that carry double identities and meanings. It captures conversations across seas and lands; contemplates the meaning of “home”; rediscovers one’s identit(ies); sees the mundane in new light; and reimagines old images through modern lenses. Through these short films, we invite you to explore questions of who you are and where you are at as you manoeuvre between here and there.

Programme brief:
Is distance merely a measurement? Just a number?
Can it be experienced physically? And, conceptually?
What is sitting there within the space between the two points anyway?
As a cross-disciplinary art event, including live performances and film screenings, “Distance — Between HK & UK” invites the audience to experience “distance” physically and conceptually. With movements and lights, performing artists will invite the audience to reimagine a different in-between space that echoes the stories in the screenings.
「距離」可以被量度嗎？「距離」是一堆數據？
「距離」可以被切身體驗嗎？還是概念上體驗也可成立？
其實A點與B點之間，可能有很多演繹呢。
《不港不英 之 距離》，作為一次電影與形體演出的跨媒介藝術活動，希望讓參與觀眾現場透過舞者的形體動作、燈光氣氛，體驗切身及概念上的距離。舞者將引領大家進入人、電影、時空、故事互動下重新想像「港」、「英 」的 距離。
