ifva greenlab 2012-2013 Commission Project
Google Search Stories

The 18th ifva greenlab short film commission project is pleased to have Google as its creative partner. With Google’s search function as the starting point of the stories, three past ifva award-winners, Tsang Tsui-shan, Leung Ming-kai and Ng Ho-yin Chris, tell three life-altering and heartwarming tales: a metropolitan lady who survived a severe traffic accident tries to pick herself up by exploring the delicate relationship between food and human beings; an actress who grew up on foreign soil goes back to the home of her artistic career in search of her roots and dreams; a young and aspiring entrepreneur who combines Chinese culture with Western tourbillion technique works wonders in the field of domestic watch making.
