Directed by Fai Wan
"This is a progress update video, not the final film." "The World is Ours" is an independent documentary film project that focuses on high school students of the younger generation. The aim is to open a window that connects to the living conditions of this young generation. The director has met five Form Six students from different backgrounds, including traditional official schools, international schools, and art schools. They live in Hong Kong, and has undergone tremendous changes, yet they still present their living spaces and voices in their own unique ways. Some express themselves through artistic creation, some publish independent publications to promote local culture, and some advocate for gender equality through online platforms. Their commonality is that they all have a strong voice, but this era does not provide them with opportunities to express themselves.
In August 2022, Giloo pioneered the "Giloo Fest 2023," launching an innovative experiment combining crowdfunding with short film proposals. The event attracted 343 Chinese-language short film project entries from around the globe, with 20 teams ultimately advancing to the finals. Thanks to the encouragement and support of numerous participants, we are thrilled to announce the grand premiere of the first wave of results this April! These nominated works cover a wide range of subjects, deeply reflecting issues of concern in the contemporary Chinese-speaking world. Come quickly and see the brilliant works from these teams!
