"Dot 2 Dot", a Hong Kong art film sponsored by Hong Kong Arts Development Council, invested by BPS Global Group, is released on October 30. The film becomes the finalist for the 51st Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival, the 2014 Hong Kong International Film Festival (global premiere ) and the Asian Art Triennial Manchester 2014 (UK premiere). This is the first time of our Group to invest in movie production project to show our support for the local film industry, and promote cultural development.
"Dot 2 Dot" is directed by an emerging filmmaker, Amos WHY, starring Moses CHAN, MENG Ting-yi, Susan SHAW, LAM Tsz Chung and David SIU. Chung (acted by Moses CHAN), a Hong Kong native, returns from Canada to a drastically transformed Hong Kong. Hoping to capture the city in his childhood years, he draws a cryptic diagram near every subway station, in the form of dot-to-dot games. Soon they are discovered by Xue (acted by MENG Ting-yi), a Putonghua teacher from China. In a metropolis of more than 7 million people, and a colonial history of more than a century, Xue embarks on a mysterious journey and determines to find out who makes all these dots, with only very tiny and subtle hints.
Dot 2 Dot is a 100% local film which explores pressing issues of urban change, cultural history and collective memory in Hong Kong. Through the cryptic diagrams created by Moses in the movie, this movie hopes to remind the audience of the importance of conservation.
