Blue Island
Watch TrailerAlthough the Chinese government promised that Hong Kong would retain separate status until 2047, in recent years the Chinese state has consolidated its power over the metropolis. Large-scale protests by the populace have been brutally suppressed. This mix of documentary, fiction, and visions of the future reveals the current state of desolate depression among the people of Hong Kong. “A desperate attempt to capture the final moments of a sinking island”, as maker Chan Tze-woon himself puts it.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Chan Tze-woon constructs a poignant hybrid, blending verité footage, staged reenactments, and speculative visions. He explores the collective psyche of a city under pressure, relying on personal testimonies to map a landscape of quiet despair and resilient memory.
What lingers after the credits is not the noise of conflict, but the profound silence of historical erosion and the urgent need to preserve fading truths. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Chan Tze-Woon
