Hundreds of feet in the air, a drone approaches a row of skyscrapers along Hong Kong’s affluent southern coast. The target: giant holes in the buildings’ facades kept clear for the passage of mythological dragons. Over three successive trips, an affectless voice offers thoughts on feng shui architecture, ideological resistance, and notions of queer identity.


This free screening will play on loop at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center Amphitheater at the following times:

Oct. 5: 12-6 pm, 9-11 pm
Oct. 7: 12-2 pm, 4-6 pm, 9-11 pm
