The Cube Phantom, directed by Alan Lau, was created in early 2019 before the Hong Kong protests. Through dance, the film traverses diverse locations across the city to explore questions of identity and belonging. “We use images to declare our yearning for freedom, and our bodies to express a century of Hong Kong’s emotions,” says Lau. Unlike any Hong Kong film you’ve seen, The Cube Phantom unfolds like a wordless dance poem in ten chapters, each a site-specific performance revealing both the joy and melancholy of the city. Three dancers, their bodies covered in white chalk, move in struggle—are they prisoners, ghosts, corpses, or tortured souls? Inspired by parkour and hip-hop, the choreography flows from Tai O’s waterways to the slopes of Mid-Levels. In the vast, expressionist storm drain, a brutal confrontation unfolds, followed by a cage sequence inspired by Caged Men. The film premiered worldwide at the Rotterdam International Film Festival. The Cube Phantom 由《寧化飛灰》導演Alan Lau 於 2019 年上半年於運動發生之前所創作，以舞蹈貫穿香港不同角落，探索香港人對身份與歸屬的追問。導演說：「我們用影像向世界宣告對自由的渴望，用身體表達對香港百年情懷。」 這部作品不同於任何一部香港電影：如同一首無言的舞蹈詩，全片分為十個章節，以十個場地特定的舞段呈現城市的歡欣與悲涼。三位舞者赤裸身軀、覆上白粉，掙扎移動：他們是囚徒、鬼魂、屍體，還是受折磨的靈魂？靈感源自跑酷與嘻哈，舞者從大澳水道到半山斜坡穿梭，在表現主義式的巨型下水道中上演殘酷對抗，隨後出現受《籠中人》啟發的籠中野人段落。影片於鹿特丹國際電影節世界首映。

This film includes scenes of artistic nudity.
