Confidential Records: Execution, dir. Vvzela Kook 曲淵澈, Hong Kong 2019, English with Chinese and English subtitles, 4 min.
Book tickets
Hong Kong Film Festival UK 2026
A programme of experimental documentary, artists’ moving image and lecture performance explores voices as both fragile and impossible to fully erase. Traces endure as bodies, images and technologies become sites where histories and memories are reactivated against systems that seek to silence them.
Followed by in-person conversation with Rico Wong and Winnie Soon, moderated by Sun Park, Programme and Communications Manager at LUX.
UK Premiere
Confidential Records: Execution
Hong Kong | 2019 | 4’ | Colour | In English with Chinese and English subtitles
Dir.: Vvzela Kook 曲淵澈
A sci-fi reimagining of the demolished Kowloon Walled City, utilising old memories and scientific prediction to build a fantasized underground city for the defence of human beings.
UK Premiere
Compact Disc
Hong Kong, UK | 2026 | 38’ | Colour | In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles
Dir.: Rico Wong 王樂堯
After years of silence, the director and his friends return to fragments of a shared youth shaped by imprisonment, friendship and pixelated images that refuse to settle, searching for how to live with what remains.
Winner of the CPH:DOX 2026 New:Vision Award and the TIDF 2026 Visionary Award Grand Prize.
UK Premiere
The Singing Fern
Hong Kong | 2026 | 3’ | Colour | No Dialogue with Chinese and English subtitles
Dir.: Au Wah Yan 區華欣
Beginning as a fictional fern-hunting party, rooted in Victorian pteridomania, the hunt turns inward — for undertone voices, unsettling emotions, and the unconscious mind.
Lecture Performance：The Poetics of the Unerasable
Artist: Winnie Soon 孫詠怡
As algorithmic curation habituates us to online erasure, this lecture performance frames erasure as a generative act — examining how obscured data continues to inhabit the digital landscape and navigating the boundary between enforced and self-imposed censorship. The session closes with a participatory book-binding action, inviting audiences to assemble a collective book from traces.
Runtime: approximately 90 minutes with a 45-minute screening followed by a 45-minute interactive lecture performance.
