Rehearsal of the Futures: Police Training Exercises

Rehearsal of the Futures: Police Training Exercises (2018)

N/A 18 min Movie
Documentary

Menace and violence estranged from context and time looks eerily strange, and all too familiar. In this gallery piece, Isaac Chong Wai somehow anticipates, a year early, key images of the Hong Kong protests.
