28th Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival
Stay If You Can / Go If You Must
synopsis
A portrait film of two female contemporary Hong Kong artists shot over ice and smoke, in which these two substances reflect the real-life, turbulent events currently playing out in the ill-fated Special Administrative Region of the PRC. The poetry of words and introspection overlap here in several different layers with the throbbing, relentless prose of documented reality.
"An abstraction on a real event pushes further imagination and emotion in a different time and space for further introspection." E. Wendi
