Project Detail

SightNotSeeing

Synopsis

SIGHTNOTSEEING captures a cultural tour in post-colonial Kowloon, around the remnants of the Walled City, but not the kind of tour you'd expect. Filmed in a single overhead long take, it drifts through performance, misunderstanding, and (post-)truth, held together by confusion and just enough confidence to carry on.

A filmmaker turns the lens on her 95-year-old great uncle, an elderly Englishman determined to leave something meaningful behind. Sparked by a friend’s quiet regret, he begins a deeply personal journey through memory, faith, and sound. As his vision unfolds, the film becomes an intimate meditation on legacy and the invisible threads that connect generations - inviting us to listen closely to what we leave behind and what truly endures.
