Passing the Baton
Who says youth don’t dream? They care about issues that are larger than life. Join us to reveal the ifva Awards Youth Category winning shorts and revisit the city through their eyes. Jonathan Tam’s I am not a superhero is paradoxically the story of a local hero; Ho Yui-chi Savio’s The Dormer is dedicated to a home of freedom; Tiffany Ng’s Mom illustrates the broken bonding among families; Yiu King-hei’s RED is an honest accusation of the “meaning” of education.
