DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His films capture the melancholic nostalgia and temporal displacement of Hong Kong's identity crisis during the handover period, particularly in works like '2046' and 'In the Mood for Love'.

 Chandler Levack Hong Kong

His raw, independent cinema documents post-handover Hong Kong's urban decay and social marginalization in works like 'Made in Hong Kong' and 'Durian Durian'.
