In the epidemic era, everything seems to be frozen. The four short films from Keep Rolling capture the alienation and sorrow through the lens. In Same Boat , Yin had to take care of her grandma at home every day, and they shared each other’s sentiments as if they were sitting on the same boat. Rubbish Ban sees a young man, Genius, whose boss told him to throw a cardboard box far away, but he could barely find any trash cans. Is Hong Kong, which can’t even hold a trash can, still the city that we used to be familiar with? In A Letter from Prison , film director James planned to write letters to Man to support him through his hard time in prison. Although he was outside the walls, the freedom of his mind was also bound by invisible shackles. April’s Interlude tells the story of a cosmetologist, Shan, during the shutdown of the epidemic. When learning about her old friend’s reappearance after years, Shan felt that the friend who returned had an incomprehensible detachment from what had happened in Hong Kong over the past few years.
