A journey of confronting bereavement and notions of cultural identity in a globalised world. A documentation of revisitation to international locations of familial significance, in order to disentangle the complex bereavement surrounding the death of the filmmakers father. The work explores issues of identity, grief and belonging in the context of global migration, family history and post-colonialism. Filmed in various locations across Hong Kong and India, the work takes form as a cathartic journey of reflection and intercultural understanding.

I generally gravitate towards places that reveal the many layers of time when deciding on a particular location to set up my camera and tripod. This is when I like to imagine worlds that have passed, worlds that are present, and worlds that are yet to be. In 2009 Johan Rockström led the team which developed the "Planetary Boundaries Framework," a set of 9 boundaries that they define as a “safe operating space for humanity.” These scientists assert that once certain thresholds or tipping points are passed there is a risk of “irreversible and abrupt environmental change." In 1976 a number of companies began selling genetically modified foods and pharmacueticals for the first time.

The section "Cinéma in Transgression" offers middle or feature lengh films out of norm and order, between fiction and documentary, characterised by complex audio-visual languages, unpredictable associations based on unconcient, metaphorical and metonymical proceedings. In this way these films can express the complexity of reality.
