Program Note
In 2019, the world watched from afar as people of Hong Kong took to the streets. Scenes of protests captured by drones. An unimaginable number of two million protesters. As firebombs and police batons fly, the city is turned into a battlefield. Faceless shows the details of 2019 Hong Kong protests that we have not seen before. It tells the behind-the-scene stories, focusing on the portraits of four Hong Kong youths: a high school student who became an ardent activist against the wishes of his parents, a queer artist who turns propaganda into street art, a girl who becomes an enemy to her police officer father, and a devout Christian who dreams of nonviolent struggle. Covering their faces with masks and gas masks, they represent the anger, devotion, dreams, and desires of the two million Hong Kongers. The camera stays in the streets alongside the faceless and nameless people in this passionate, desperate, and painful film. (KANG Sowon)
