My Documentary will be on Film Festival

Here is the good news: the documentary Dai Pai Dong that I did with a team is selected for International Students’ Film Festival in Mumbai, India.

好消息:我此前和一个团队共同拍摄的纪录片《大排档》被选入即将在印度孟买开幕的国际学生电影节了。

And the bad news: I went to the place where the dai pai dong was located, hoping to celebrate, only to find out that it was gone.

以及坏消息:前几天去了拍摄的盛记大排档曾经所在的位置,希望去庆贺一下,结果发现,它已经消失了。

We recorded history.

我们就这样记录了历史。

Just to put a photo here, a photo of us shooting the boss of the dpd, as a memory.

在此存放一张当时拍摄时的工作照,图中的我们正在访问盛记的老板。

And below is the information about the festival, which I am not going.

下面是关于这个电影节的介绍,虽然我自己无法成行。
