KEEP ROLLING • 動態ROLLING

Hong Kong On Screen (HKOS) Los Angeles is proud to present a special in-person screening of KEEP ON ROLLING, produced by Ying E Chi, and to support this organization.

In the epidemic era, everything seems to be frozen. In fact, there are still many things we can do. Let’s keep rolling, captures the alienation and sorrow through the lens. In Same Boat, Yin's grandma had not returned to Xiamen for two years since the epidemic, Yin had to take care of her at home every day. They shared each other sentiments as if sitting on the same boat. Rubbish Ban sees a young man Genius dumped by his girlfriend because of a piece of garbage. His boss also told him to throw a cardboard box far away but he barely found any trash cans. Only then did he realize that the trash cans that used to be everywhere had totally disappeared. Is Hong Kong, which can't even hold a trash can, still the city that we used to be familiar with? In A Letter from Prison, film director James planned to write letters to Man to support him through his hard time in prison Although he was outside the wall, the freedom of his mind was also bound by invisible shackles. This made him question if the world is just another prison. April’s Interlude tells a story of a cosmetologist Shan under the shutdown of the epidemic. Her old friend suddenly appears, filling Shan's sense of loneliness. However, when learning about each other's life over years, Shan felt that the friend who returned after leaving Hong Kong had an incomprehensible detachment from what happened in Hong Kong in the past few years. In the end, Shan made a choice in the struggle between emotion and reason.

FAR FAR AWAY • 緣路山旮旯

A 28-year-old IT geek, Hau, is a mediocre but warm-hearted introvert, who suddenly finds himself the object of affection for five attractive women within the same year. The quintet share virtually no similar traits except one quirky thing: they all live in remote corners of Hong Kong. Seeing our heartthrob’s struggles in getting there’s half the fun, though; all that travelling allows director Amos Why to offer his audience a chance to see and appreciate parts of the city they rarely get to experience.
