Hong Kong : Star Of China - Documentary

Laser beams shoot skywards, prolonging the angles of skyscrapers set in neon. Over the bay, the heavy sails of a junk reflect the flashing colours, while streaks of light glisten in the wake of the Star ferry. Fascinating. Throughout the documentary, Pierre Brouwers dazzles us with the power of his images and the passion with which he explores a city whose ambition is to serve as a benchmark for Asia.
