BAND FOUR
Director
Mo, Lai Yan Chi
Since I grew up in an atypical family, ‘family’ is the motif of my creation. It is a process of exploration into myself and reflection on society.
Hong Kong is a city with a variety of voices. The four family members in the film, with bloodline, half-bloodline or non-blood relations, have their own past, confusion, fear, and hope, which represent different generations in Hong Kong today carrying different voices.
If you find the best mates, as well as you find the best band! The film uses a band as a metaphor for the family and explores how different people gather in harmony but diversity. Throughout the time together, the Band Four members, once divided from broken families, are now on the stage facing the unknown future. At finale as a united family.
A film about musicians is not a common scenery here, especially inviting local musicians to play the roles and create themselves music that gives a life to the characters to move the story forward.
