Communicating complexity and empathy in international politics: a documentary film project on Hong Kong
This project aims to explore how filmmaking helps us cultivate the viewers’ empathy as we communicate the complexity of global politics. We have produced an award-winning feature-length documentary Black Bauhinia (explained below). We would like to establish an online platform to invite our audience to participate in the making of a shorter documentary film based on Black Bauhinia. There are two main outputs of this project: an interactive bilingual website which serves as a site of co-production, and a short documentary film (15-20 minutes).
