Description


We're in Hong Kong in 2022. 25 years after the handover and 25 years after the graduation of three classmates who decided to organise a reunion. In bittersweet tones, director Amos Why captures the unusual day of the three and their (and our) relationship with their phones: one of them has forgotten theirs, another one's has been hacked, while the third keeps receiving strange messages. And the fourth protagonist is Hong Kong itself.

Director’s Statement


Stemming from a pact made by the three protagonists 25 years ago, Everyphone Everywhere reflects urbanites’ reliance and trust of our modern day smartphones. Imagine forgetting to bring your phone, and for one reason or another you are not able to go home to retrieve it. How would you get through the day? Perhaps you won’t even remember the time of the appointment, or the address, or phone number, of even the route to the venue if you are disconnected from the internet. And when a stranger uses a smartphone to connect with you, will he or she turn out to be the way you imagined? Everyphone Everywhere explores our modern day reliance on technology, whilst lamenting on the simpler times in the past.
