A Ghost Covers One's Eyes: Film 2024             A group of young Hong Kong locals and exchange student Brandon Chow, dressed in costumes, tell stories while getting high, forgetting them by morning. This semi-fictional film explores Hong Kong identity within a pan-Chinese narrative being imposed by the Chinese Communist Party.                                                                                                                                A Ghost Covers One's Eyes reflects on my identity as a third generation Chinese-Canadian or Banana Boy (a colloquial term for an asian person who grew up in a Western society), intertwining humour and heartfelt moments as a means of discussing this sensitive political topic. Amidst the erasure of China’s subcultures, the film questions the evolution of ‘Chinese-ness’ and cautions against the mechanization of nationalist narratives. Film access available through request.
