Cinema Quietude
Man-Shing, a poignant middle-aged man, left the city for a security job at the deserted Cheung-Chau island cinema.
As he bonds with the unfrequent visitors -- kids who sneaks in to play, a stray dog, and the granny who made prank calls -- he remembers his mother.
Upon demolishment, Man-Shing holds the last screening, awaken the cinema from its deep sleep.

Benson Koo is a visual artist and short film director, founder of online video platform "Wave Channel". The director's short film "Disappeared" won first place at RTHK’s Filming Hong Kong competition as well as best director.
After half a century, Cheung Chau Cinema is way past its prime. I hope to use this film to evoke the past and recreate stories relating to this old institution. Making a film in a half-forgotten cinema on a small island, I hope to present a meaningful "next screening" for myself and Cheung Chau Cinema.
