Along fragmented paths, we come to glimpse landscapes elsewhere. When these everyday moments brush against lived experience, we are suddenly carried back in dreams—to a past once lived in our homeland. By weaving together the experience of being away from home with what has already passed, a vision emerges that belongs to us alone, singular and unrepeatable. This film selection, jointly curated by enclave partners from different countries, reflects the concerns they observe through their own eyes. Within this rising enclave, we see, encounter, and exchange… and continue moving forward.

Remember Me
Before settling into the stability of adulthood, we are all perplexed students navigating the currents of life. This selection focuses on a group of Hong Kong teenagers who have yet to enter the working world. The life circumstances, social shifts, and even familial relationships they encounter are unprecedented experiences. The journey from attempting to understand, learn, and overcome these challenges, to ultimately accepting their self-determined fate, broadly reflects the collective atmosphere and mindset of Hong Kong as a whole
When dreams return in fragments, when memories slip away, when the past comes rushing in, when the storm circles back—take a few minutes, just drift for a few minutes. The everyday can transcend time and space; abstract animation and imagery capture colors we cannot speak aloud, like elephants hidden in a castle, a head holding onto its last strand of hair, someone lost in a midsummer dream, or a fierce cyclone swirling outside. We all need—and deserve—these few minutes.
