Monsoon Blue
Wong Hiu Kit Jay, Chan Ka Yin Ellis
Hong Kong / Col / 5'05" / In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles
When looking for the answer to the question "why do I exist", a storm is conjured up. There are times of darkness, changes, pain and suffocation, when heavy rain suddenly floods the fragile mind. The captive goldfish looks for answers and strives to return to its place of origin. However, it remains struggling in the bag, just like an oppressed individual who has nowhere to turn.

Artist's Statement
The film begins with the monologue of a kid, which serves to reflect on whether the repressive city life has pushed the people living inside forgotten their not-yet-rotten heart of gold.
Juror's Comment
The drawing quality may be one of the highest in recent years. The depth and sense of space in the visuals are adequate. The images of goldfish and water are richly varied and the interpretation is lively. Combined with colour, editing and other designs, the effect is outstanding and eye-catching. (Honkaz Fung)
