There's Only One Type of Homesickness｜Contemporary Hong Kong Film Selection
"There's only one homesickness in this world: the absence of you, when Hong Kong is no longer my ground." Homesickness is composed of our five senses and the spaces we inhabit, alongside the people and memories that walk through time with us. Neon lights may gradually dim, and reunion dinners might devolve into a chaotic mess. Memories, too, are hard to keep perfectly fresh, yet through images, you can always savor those moments once held. Join Giloo as we rewind the clock, searching for the unfaded old Hong Kong.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices.

And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
