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. Blending diverse lived experiences both within Hong Kong and its international diaspora, it captures the despondency and proud dogmatism that many political dissidents feel amidst Hong Kong’s cultural erosion.                                                                            Apart of my graduation work at Design Academy Eindhoven, 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.
