A journey of confronting bereavement and notions of cultural identity
in a globalised world. A documentation of revisitation to
international locations of familial
significance, in order to disentangle the complex bereavement
surrounding the death of the filmmakers father. The work explores
issues of identity, grief and belonging in the context of global
migration, family history and post-colonialism. Filmed in various
locations across Hong Kong and India, the work takes form as a
cathartic journey of reflection and intercultural understanding.

time when deciding on a particular location to set up my camera and
tripod. This is when I like to imagine worlds that have passed, worlds
that are present, and worlds that are yet to be.
In 2009 Johan Rockström led the team which developed the "Planetary
Boundaries Framework," a set of 9 boundaries that they define as a
“safe operating space for humanity.” These scientists assert that once
certain thresholds or tipping points are passed there is a risk of
“irreversible and abrupt environmental change." In 1976 a number of
companies began selling genetically modified foods and pharmacueticals
for the first time.

The section "Cinéma in Transgression" offers middle or feature lengh films out of norm and order, between fiction and documentary, characterised by complex audio-visual languages, unpredictable associations based on unconcient, metaphorical and metonymical proceedings. In this way these films can express the complexity of reality.
