“Where do vanished objects go? Into non-being, which is to say, everything.” In his self-documentary set in Hangzhou, a capital city in southern China, young director Frank Fang tries to seize the fleeting time and memories by piecing together footages of his past 22 years.
This film is a virtual container that carries the most precious and uncatchable thing in this world — the memory.
The film delivers a sense of nostalgia that arouses the awareness on the modernization, the process of which is revealed in the various materials from film, SD, HD to 4K, as well as the vanished city landscapes in the past decades. Where is the root of our existence? Why are memories so important? Those fundamental questions powerfully reflected through Fang’s lens make it more than a personal documentary.
