synopsis
Seemingly an ordinary district, Jordan is a gem hidden in plain sight. With the abundance of antiques and culture in Jordan, you can only see so much of the essence of traditional craftsmanship in a blink of an eye. By compiling traditions in a flash that are slowly forgotten by the equally fast paced modern life, this film showcases the beauty of old Hong Kong, all in a glimpse of textiles, flasks, paintings and statuettes. Using replacement animation, these works of art are connected into moving images, bringing new light to crafts that are passed down for generations, with history as long as hundreds or thousands of years. It is an impression of Asian culture that not only exists in Hong Kong, but anywhere in the world with a community that shares the same values and beliefs.
