With over seven decades of history and known as "the Last Sawmill in Hong Kong”, Chi Kee Sawmill & Timber has lived through multiple transformations by Hong Kong’s timber industry, including the economic boom in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as its radical shift to processing and recycling used timber. However, when the sawmill faces compulsory eviction by the government for its Northern Metropolis development project, the survival of this successful family-owned business becomes a modern David-versus-Goliath story. The documentary is a wistful look at the unstoppable machine of urban development and an old-school business has tried to withstand the flow of time.
Co-presented by HK House, Asian Independent Cinema Showcase and UBC Hong Kong Studies Initiative, "Fallen Treasures" tells the story of Chi Kee Sawmill as it faced land resumption and closure.
Following the screening, there will be a special post-film conversation hosted by Asian Independent Cinema Showcase and UBC Hong Kong Studies Initiative.
《木送》是一部獨立製作，跨越 5 年記錄「香港最後一間鎅木廠」志記迎向收地的故事。志記見證香港戰後的復甦及城市發展，走過經濟騰飛的七八十年代，九七後處理舊木和倒樹而轉型為環保的中堅，卻在新界東北發展的巨輪下，不得不迎向收地清拆的命運。
鄉村工業必然阻礙城市發展？樹木有颱風吹倒的、收村摧毁的、企業用完即棄的⋯⋯統統去堆填？而一個人，年紀大就係廢老？
樹木無聲，默默奉獻；匠人不折，化腐朽為可愛；生命之神既唏噓又見溫暖。
放映會由香港屋、亞洲獨立電影展及卑詩大學「共研香江」香港研究計劃合辦，為大家帶嚟一套跨越五年拍攝、獨立製作嘅紀錄片，記錄「香港最後一間鎅木廠」志記面對收地嘅故事。
今年特設由亞洲獨立電影展同卑詩大學「共研香江」主持嘅映後導演對談。想知道係咩驅使韓潔瑤導演堅持五年，完成呢套香港本土紀錄片？記得買飛入場，一齊支持啦！
