15 years
Chan Ki Yan
Hong Kong / Col / 8'10" / In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles
Time passes like flowing water. Not returning for three years, living abroad for fifteen years, what is the unit for alienation? The saxophone at the intersection 11 years ago, the Korean music on the street four years ago, the flight broadcasts after the epidemic, the voices of family members, the days and nights when Taipei and Hong Kong were at a standstill, some moments linger in my mind.
Artist's Statement
15 Years is like a personal diary, a thin letter. Not long, but carried my treasured moments.
Juror's Comment
The cinematography is dreamy with images of Taipei yet feel like Hong Kong. The missing is private, which is depicted in a subtle yet profound way. （Kok Rui Lau）
