Framed by Curtains

This film is described as a "video letter from Hong Kong" that plays with the concept of framing through various visual techniques. Santos utilizes images of transit, including commuters and various modes of transportation, which appear and disappear in a rhythm that reflects the complexity of everyday life in Hong Kong.

The variable frame rates and digitally manipulated video create an engaging visual experience. Santos directly addresses the viewer with text prompts, challenging them to reflect on their own perceptions and the deeper implications of being "framed." This self-referential approach invites the audience to consider the broader colonial context that influences modern perceptions of identity and space in Hong Kong.
