The Kingdom of Men (Hong Kong)
by Sham Kwan Yin
An experimental short integrated the creative process of contemporary theatre art in filmmaking. Exercising the concept of the theatre of absurd, the screenplay depicts a group of jailers who are ridiculously assigned by the authority to endlessly guard an long abandoned ancient prison - how would the jailers live their lives? How would the protagonist ‘boss’ who only knows obedience in his life face the absurd situation of guarding the empty cells? Three new recruits, educated together by the country, embarked on different journeys after relentless fighting, competition, and conspiracy. What would be their upcoming fate? A deserter realizes the absurdity of such situation - his escape has shaken the worlds of the remaining jailers: should they succumb to the powerful and guard the empty cells or should they pursue their freedom? - if the creation of the ideal kingdom, 'the Kingdom of Men, need us to sacrifice our free will, is that the right thing to do? The question remains.

They find themselves balancing on the thin line between solitude and establishing a connection.

The Summit High School audience responded with, as a band member recalled in 1983, a 'murmur of surprise that greeted the appearance' that 'increased to a roar of disbelief as the band started to play' which'swelled to a mighty howl of outrage and bewilderment...'
