The film tracks Ho Chung Village’s myriad changes over the years through the Lau’s family, the director’s neighbours. A few decades ago, many of the Ho Chung villagers migrated to Europe to earn a living in the restaurant trade. As the young men and women matured, they married and formed families, yet their attachment to Ho Chung remains unchanged. Held once every decade, Ho Chung’s Village Festival is a traditional ceremony that is passed down from generation to generation and provides an opportunity for families to get together and for far-flung sons and daughters to return to their home village. Tsui-shan Jessey Tsang is a Hong Kong film director, scriptwriter and documentary filmmaker who has won multiple awards at various international film festivals. Strong of an extensive travelling experience, with film titles such as, <i>Lonely Planet</i> and <i>Lovers on the Road</i>, she continues to explore in <i>Flowing Stories</i> the contradiction between one’s attachment to the roots and life in displacement. <i>This event is part of <a href="https://www.filmhouse.org.uk/waving-kites-hong-kong-diasporic-cinema-uk-tour">Waving Kites: Hong Kong Diasporic Cinema UK Tour</a>, organised by the Chinese Independent Film Archive at Newcastle University, in partnership with Filmhouse.</i>DocumentaryPT1H37MN/C 182026-05-15
