As I Imagine My Body Moving
Hong Kong / 2022 / 30 mins / Cantonese / Chinese & English subtitles / World Premiere
A former dancer encountering a sudden health issue, unveiled a deeper scar that concealed inside her for over 20 years. The film explores the notion of kinaesthetic separation between the body and its stream of consciousness, sometimes dislocation, or disconnection. Her immobilized body bearing illnesses somehow wandering in distorted time and space. The depersonalisation is perhaps a detachment one could have learned about our body and its autonomy.
