Art museums are usually in the form of white walls, while cinemas usually equal to big screens and deemed lightings. Could moving images and artworks escape from such spaces?

Jockey Club ifva Everywhere Carnival 2020 invites you to embark on an online and offline journey of extraordinary image viewing experience. Artworks of and inspired by moving images will be situated not only at physical exhibition spaces, but also time-traveling mobile sites, online virtual networks and even your own private corner. Join us and enjoy the boundless possibilities of media arts anytime, everywhere!

Cityscapes always reflect the era. By observing the city, Film art directors use spaces and locations to create the time-space to construct the cinematic world. Audiences, in return, strive to understand the city and feel its changes through moving images.
“Jockey Club ifva Everywhere Master Class and Artist Mentoring Scheme” features Hong Kong veteran art director Mr Man Lim-chung to talk about the interrelationships among filmic space, city and moments in time.

Why would audience be immersed into the filmic realm on cinema screens, and falsefully take that as the reality? After all, they are just looking at moving images that are not real, aren’t they?
How do we define the ‘real’ and the ‘fantasy’ in cinema? Who should be the one to define? And in what grounds should we define? How can audiences be deceived? 
Ms Tina Liu, Hong Kong Film Arts Association Vice Chairman and a veteran on image design and costume direction, might have all the answers which she would share at this Master Class.
