Lionverse
Mok Chun-hei

The 25th ifva Awards Animation Category Finalist
Hong Kong in the 1960s was an “each penny counts” era. The Lion Rock spirit represents the “bit by bit” collective effort, hoping one day would pay off. While the next generation is growing up, they no longer work collectively but rather they make a living on their own. The Lion Rock spirit is gradually forgotten and broken down.
