Blue Island
By Chan Tze Woon
"Blue Island" brings together the older and newer generations of activists to create a fresco of contemporary Hong Kong. Chan Tze Woon confronts the memories and experiences of the activists of the 1973 revolution and the struggles of the younger generation, between disillusionment and hope, to compile a multi-layered reflection on the island's identity. How do young people see their future in Hong Kong today? What do they think of this seemingly unwinnable revolution? This dazzling film oscillates between documentary and drama, mixing archival footage, film clips, interviews and footage from behind the scenes.
