The Night (2021)

The Night 2021 / 良夜不能留 2021 / Liang ye bu neng liu

Under the neon light of a quiet street of Causeway Bay in Hong Kong, Director Tsai documented the city's ambience of the aftermath in 2019. The Night was inspired by the same-titled Chinese song from the 1940s. As Tsai hums during the filming, the lyrics of the song echoes: ‟The beautiful night is slipping away, I hate to see you go.‟ (Source: Taiwan Film Festival) ~~2022 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival ~~2021 Venice International Film Festival – Out of Competition (Short Films) ~~2021 Golden Horse Film Festival – Nominated for Best Short Documentary
