About the film:

Looking for Wong Kar-Wai is a project that revisits and rethinks about the films by Wong Kar-Wai and the changing of Hong Kong. His films always show a longing for the passing by situation with people, and are about encounters and loss. It’s a filmic work which tries to document Hong Kong through the films and to link that with the past and present, with the team of Beijing- and Zurich-based multimedia artist and producer Li Zhenhua, Chen Xiao, Shen Xiaomin, and Sampo Sarkola.

‘It’s about one person looking for another person with traces in film and reality; it’s about one culture seeking another culture with understanding and appreciation. Do people really understand each other from the constructed world through film, or do we understand each other better in reality?’ -- Li Zhenhua

藉著《尋找王家衛》這個企劃，李振華重訪王家衛的電影和反思香港的轉變。 王家衛的電影總表現出人與人的交錯，講述相遇和失落。 影片試圖以電影來記錄香港，將過去與現在聯繫起來。這部影片由李振華與陳曉、沈小閩和Sampo Sarkola共同製作。

「這部作品關於覓尋 ── 一個人藉著電影和現實的痕跡來追尋另一個人；一種文化尋覓另一種文化的理解和賞識。人與人之間真的能夠透過電影中建構的世界來理解對方嗎？還是在現實中我們能更好地了解雙方呢？」 ── 李振華
