Synopsis:
Written by Hong Kong Film Awards winner Lou Shiu-Wa (The Way We Are, 2008), this latest feature from indie filmmakers Vincent Chui is a realistic, unadorned portrayal of contemporary family and love relationships: Ka, a common housewife, leaves her husband after big change in the family. Then she encounters Man, who has for years blamed her father Chow for bringing to light his relationship with his lover Tracy after the accidental death of Man’s mother. And so it seems that from departures stems relationships anew, but there are in fact little to be explained in the logic of cause-and-effect for existence, death, encounters, and love.

「銀幕·香港」香港Indie電影網上展 2023
HKOS Indie Film Online Showcase 2023
獨立電影這個概念對很多觀衆來説或許比較陌生，但卻是電影工業裏面不可或缺的一部分。獨立電影因為偏向受導演和製作團體個人意念的主導，一般不受公司或商業團體的掌控。而香港的獨立電影種類繁多，很多既能反映出社會利弊，又能幫助我們對世道人情的理解。獨立製作也啟發我們的批判精神，從而對自己身處的環境作出關注和反思。
今次身處海外的「銀幕·香港」決意接力舉辦香港網上獨立電影節，將於2023年10月20日至11月20日重現「影意志」最後出品的短片集《動態Rolling》（2022），以及「影意志」前藝術總監、香港獨立電影節策展人崔允信的三部舊作：《憂憂愁愁的走了》(2001)、《無花果》(2013) 和《三條窄路》(2007)。
另外，「銀幕·香港」也選了三部紀錄片，包括：《消失的檔案》(2017)、《3cm》(2019) 以及《戲棚》(2019)。「銀幕·香港」希望借這次全球網上電影展，能讓更多香港人了解香港獨立製作的生態，探討未來的影視出路，再次燃起香港獨立製作的新希望。

Independent Film might be strange to most audience, however, it's an essential component of the film industry. Independent films are nonetheless driven by the creative vision of the director and production team, free from the control of companies and commercial entities. In Hong Kong, independent films span across genres, with stories that often ask viewers to critically reflect on current societal issues and to push viewers to better understand the complex world within and beyond Hong Kong. Independent production also inspires critical thinking, prompting us to pay attention to and reflect on our environment.
"Hong Kong On Screen (HKOS)," based in Los Angeles, hopes to carry the torch and host a Hong Kong Online Independent Film Showcase. From October 20, 2023, to November 20, 2023, we will sequentially showcase a variety of Hong Kong independent productions, including Ying E Chi’s final production “Keep Rolling (2022)”, "Leaving in Sorrow (2001)" "Figs (2013)," and "Three Narrow Gates (2007)" by Vincent Chui, Ying E Chi’s former artistic director and curator of the Hong Kong Independent Film Festival.
And three documentaries, "The Vanished Archives (2017)," "3cm (2019)," and "Bamboo Theatre (2019)" HKOS hopes that through this global online film exhibition, more people in Hong Kong and overseas can better understand and appreciate independent film production in Hong Kong, explore future possibilities for film and media, and reignite interest and hope for independent productions in Hong Kong.
