Programm
Chan Ho-Lun, Fredie 陳浩倫, Open Road after Harvest 收割, 開路! , 2015. 100 mins
This film is about three middle-aged people committed to organic farming – a farm leader, a rural woman fighting the development plans in the north-eastern region of the New Territories, and a sixty-year-old truck driver who decides to change his career. It explores Hong Kong’s rural-urban conflicts in the name of development, and the material significance and symbolic meaning of “farming” at the individual level. It could be called with Bill Nichol a “personal portrait film”, which focuses on the struggles of an individual and demonstrates the intimate connection between the personal and the political.
