Serial Parallels
Serial Parallels is an experimental animation that presents Hong Kong's built environment through the lens of celluloid film. The film employs animation techniques on photographic images to reimagine the city's iconic housing estates as rows of film strips. This unique approach connects the architectural landscape of Hong Kong with the visual language of cinema. The film's title, Serial Parallels, reflects the parallelism between the city's skyline and the structure of film strips, creating a visual dialogue between urban architecture and cinematic representation. The 9-minute short film invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions of both film and the urban environment.
