notes before the revolution
notes before the revolution is the first part of a film diary series postcards from Hong Kong. It documents the passing of the filmmaker’s father and the fateful historical changes of Hong Kong in the turmoil years of 1996-98. Personal and social events intertwined, destined to become parallel metaphors for each other. To record the personal is to make a testimony of time and space that is particular, lived as well as historical.
