In Virtual Return We (can’t) Dehaunt 2022 Directed by Lin Yali 于虚拟的彼岸,回魂(不)散

This tells the real life stories of four queer Hong Kong (trans)migrants born in the 1980s, for whom the experience of immigration and diaspora is intertwined with childhood memories of Hong Kong under the no longer existing British colonial rule. This reconstructs their nostalgic homes in virtual reality (VR), that draws attention to diasporic narratives and cultural archives through the process of cognitively metaphorical ‘returns’.
