The teens are alright

26.11. | 20 Uhr | Asi­an Short Film Fes­ti­val / Part II 

Hong Kong / Chi­na / Macau / Japan 2022-23 | 84 Minu­ten | Kurz­film­pro­gramm | Kan­to­ne­sisch, Man­da­rin und Japa­nisch mit eng­li­schen Unter­ti­teln | R: diver­se

„Each of us grows up in dif­fe­rent envi­ron­ments. Some grow up in single-parent house­holds lack­ing care, year­ning for the atten­ti­on and nur­tu­ring from both par­ents. Some child­ren, immer­sed in fan­ta­sies, aspi­re to beco­me heroes who can save the world, hoping to find jus­ti­ce, good­ness, and cou­ra­ge in their own abili­ties. Others, just ente­ring ado­le­s­cence, begin to ques­ti­on and explo­re love and desi­re. This pro­gram con­sists of four short films rela­ted to growth, pre­sen­ting a uni­que child­hood and ado­le­s­cence of Asi­an child­ren and youth.“ (Curator’s state­ment) The fol­lo­wing shorts will be shown: 1) The Best Gift Ever (MO 2022 – 21 min – R: Chit Hao) – 2) Row­dy Insi­de (HK/J 2022 – 17 mins – R: Hiro­ka Mak) – 3) Over­man (HK 2023 – 23 min – R: To Chun Him) – 4) 27 (HK2023 – 29 mins – R: Eri­ca Kwok)
