Nuptial Flight(2024,13’)

A mesmerizing dancer's eyes were consumed by relentless flashes that haunted his graceful movements. Seeking remedy, he dutifully ate pineapple, hoping to expel these unwelcome guests. Yet, time wore on, trapping him in a hazy, aimless drift - his dance now heavy with futility.

Director

Johnson CHAN Chon Sin

Waveback(2024,12’)

At 14, Jinshan had been helping out at his parents' fish shop since he was little. One day, while working, he spotted a strange fish-headed figure standing in the distance. Perhaps it was curiosity, or maybe a sense of familiarity, but he found himself chasing after it without a second thought.

All of a sudden, the busy market seemed to grow eerily quiet. The fish-headed figure led him to the school he had always dreamed of. They played on swings at an amusement park and experienced countless things he thought he'd never see or do in his lifetime.He was forced to confront the fears hidden in his heart and awaken all his childhood memories.

Director IEONG Chi Wai


KEEP LOOKING? (2024,20’)

An old hotel room, a freshly wrapped zombie film crew, and a mysteriously vanished memory card.

The production team of ZomBite You gathers in director Chen Fei Hong’s room for a night of unwinding. Amidst the chaos, the director accidentally misplaces the memory card containing the final footage. A frantic search ensues. In the cluttered room, accusations fly, some try to solve the problem, while others grow increasingly paranoid. What kind of absurd, chaotic, and utterly mad night awaits this close-knit crew?

Director Anna IEONG


The Audition(2025,8’)

Actor YUTA has faced countless rejections in auditions, and his fantasies are what kept him motivated while he waits.

Director AO IEONG Weng Fong
