Asia Society Hong Hong Center is proud to present Cha Guo 茶粿, a short documentary celebrating the hidden world of a Hong Kong rural village. Just like the eponymous homemade Chinese tea cake that's traditionally shared at family gatherings and celebrations, directors Daphné Mandel and Guy Bertrand's Cha Guo 茶粿 embodies the many narratives that connect older generations to the younger through the sharing of something savory and heart-warming
AboutCHA GUO 茶粿 (The film will be in Cantonese with English subtitles)
Nestled between the skyscrapers of Hong Kong, housing some of high finance's most creative minds, and the gleaming glass and steel boxes of Shenzhen, China's Silicon Valley where the future is being built, lies a hidden world no less exceptional.
In this lost country backwater of mountains and vegetable fields, factories still manufacture soy sauce in century old clay pots; Kanny hand makes concrete spacers that hold up some of the world's longest suspension bridges.
Cha Guo 茶粿 shines light on the lives of the villagers, craftsmen, farmers and business owners who make up this local village's close-knit community. The people's philosophy and signature are their resilience and their dedication. They embody "Made in Hong Kong" over generations.
Cha Guo 茶粿 celebrates the heroes of Hong Kong and the fabric of what makes it and its people synonymous with warmth and the ubiquitous "can do" attitude.
The Directors, Daphné Mandel and Guy Bertrand, set out not only to document this village life and heritage but also to capture its distinctly Hong Kong spirit.
"No stories are better told than by the protagonists' own voices".
