Description:

"After the riots, before the liberation" plunges viewers into the raw aftermath of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, where societal upheaval became daily life. This evocative film transforms the very streets into a silent witness, exploring how the urban landscape itself was redefined by relentless activism. Through a meticulous lens, the narrative is woven from the discarded yet poignant objects left behind: defiant graffitis on walls, twisted unscrewed railings, scattered bricks, and the ubiquitous respirators and safety goggles that became symbols of resistance.

Inspired by LIU Yi Chang's unique storytelling, the film lets these ordinary objects become extraordinary narrators. Each piece – a brick, a spray-painted message, a forgotten goggle – tells its own story, revealing the collective beliefs and individual struggles that shaped the city. We experience a profound visual conversation, a dialectic between these silent testaments, as they collectively record the events, the hopes, and the enduring spirit of Hong Kong during this pivotal period. This is not just a historical account, but an immersive journey into a city’s soul, told by its streets.
