Oh, the allure of looking back and reminiscing for better days gone by… Nostalgia develops in us sentimental creatures for a multitude of reasons, be it dissatisfaction of the present, an impending doom for the future, or the painful realisation of past mistakes. The most poignant form of nostalgia materialises when the present has passed the point of no return. Force majeure and the ones that got away. Films on the list captured distinct era in the personal or societal past, that shine light on our inescapable present, for better or worse. Might we become better beings when we come out from the other side. “If we should weep when clowns put on their show, If we should stumble when musicians play, Time will say nothing but I told you so.” If I Could Tell You - W.H. Auden
Music and sound may seem fleeting, yet they leave lasting impressions in the hearts of listeners—sometimes even becoming songs passed down through time. Beyond sensory pleasure, the act of creating sound often carries a message shaped by a specific social context. Whether it is to resist mediocrity or to resonate with the land of daily life, sound conveys cultural memory and helps bring individuals together.
Giloo presents a selection of 6 music documentaries, spanning genres like film scoring, classical pianists, rock bands, and more. Delve into the inner worlds of musicians through their confessions and feelings, and gain firsthand perspectives from their musical collaborators and close friends. Beyond a glimpse into their lives off-stage, this collection attempts to get closer to the creators' core and emotions.
Classical is elegance. Classical is romance. Classical is also wild, and untamed.
Before settling into the stability of adulthood, we are all perplexed students navigating the currents of life. This selection focuses on a group of Hong Kong teenagers who have yet to enter the working world. The life circumstances, social shifts, and even familial relationships they encounter are unprecedented experiences. The journey from attempting to understand, learn, and overcome these challenges, to ultimately accepting their self-determined fate, broadly reflects the collective atmosphere and mindset of Hong Kong as a whole
Music and sound may seem fleeting—gone in an instant—yet they leave lasting impressions in the hearts of listeners, echoing across time. Sound-making is more than sensory pleasure; at its root, it often carries a message shaped by a specific social context. Whether to resist monotony or to resonate with the land of everyday life, it becomes a vessel of cultural memory and a force that gathers people—bringing individuals closer to one another through shared rhythms and meaning.
Film and music allow me to hold onto that fearless, naive self from back then—the one who didn't understand what was worth fearing or losing, where love and anger flowed so freely. In a parallel dimension, my younger self still lives blissfully within those moments, heedlessly and dismissively existing in my own world. Carrying confusion, regret, or melancholy, always restless and stirred, I never have to say goodbye to youth.
“Hong Kong Movies Never Die ” marks its tenth anniversary — ten years witnessing the highs and lows of Hong Kong cinema. This selection features films I believe are worth recommending from the past decade. They may not be flawless, but each is the work of an emerging director. As the saying goes, “the younger generation surpasses the old,” and newcomers are no less capable than their predecessors. To keep Hong Kong cinema alive and unbroken — to truly achieve “Hong Kong Movies Never Die ” — please support these new forces of quality Hong Kong filmmaking.
