MEMORYFINDER
Live-action & 2D Animation Short Film
2025

OVERVIEW
Memoryfinder is a short film combining live-action footage with 2D animation. Following an elderly photographer through Hong Kong’s ageing housing estates and neighbourhoods, the film uses the camera viewfinder as a gateway between the present and the past. Through his lens, empty playgrounds, corridors and familiar urban spaces become populated by fragments of everyday life and memories that once belonged there. By layering animated figures over real locations, the film explores urban change, collective memory and the emotional connection between people and place. Photography becomes a way of preserving moments that may disappear physically, but continue to exist through memory.
《那幀褪色的窗 Memoryfinder》是一部結合實景影像與動畫的短片。一位年長攝影者帶著相機穿梭於香港舊式屋邨與社區,以鏡頭重新觀看熟悉的城市空間。透過相機觀景窗,原本空蕩的街角、遊樂場與建築逐漸浮現昔日居民的身影與生活片段,讓過去與現在在同一畫面中重疊。作品以攝影作為記憶的媒介,探討城市變遷、地方記憶與人和空間之間的情感連結,捕捉那些隨時間逐漸褪色、卻仍留存在城市角落的回憶。
