In the spirit of cultural studies, the students were challenged to engage in participaroty research and aim to establish an equal rapport with their interviewees. 

This screening features four such works and covers topics ranging from consumer culture to traditional Shanghainese barbershops. ...

    ****** Ever-changing Monument

    7 minutes / 2011 / Hong Kong/United Kingdom A work of animated documentary by Lilian Fu 傅詠欣

    In this project, I want to explore the process of changing states of mind and memories through animation. The concept is to reproduce images of a video frame by frame interceded by paintings, inserts of texts and sounds.
