Short Story Long

About This Movie

So, 'Short Story Long' is this intriguing exploration of identity and connection, set against the backdrop of both Hong Kong and London. It's really fascinating how the participating artists engage in their native languages, creating this layer of intimacy, yet there's also this distance—like you just can't quite catch everything they're saying. The locations—a bridge, a rooftop, a cafe, a station—are almost characters themselves, each bringing their own vibe. The pacing feels loose, almost meandering, which suits the themes of discovery and fleeting moments. It’s not flashy, but there’s a rawness in the performances that feels genuine, and that’s what really makes it stand out. A real slice-of-life piece that doesn't try too hard but resonates deeply.

Features a blend of languages that enhances the emotional depth. · Locations serve as significant backdrops to the narrative. · Pacing is intentionally slow, allowing for reflective viewing.
