"Time Still Turns The Pages" Director's Picture

Director: Nick Cheuk

Director’s Statement

The idea of creating "Time Still Turns The Pages" was inspired by the issue of students' suicide problem in Hong Kong in recent years. I wanted to analyze the causes of these tragedies and dispel the public's misunderstanding of these children by exploring their journey in the face of pressure from their studies, families and society.
