Eden Row, Where the Shadows of the Trees Fall (Documentary 2020)

Where the Shadows of The Trees Fall comes as a response to the capricious structures existing within and around Guangzhou’s urban villages. Dissecting the memories of residents implicated by rapid development and the influx of idealistic propositions, we find ourselves engulfed by parallel worlds. That is, the space between holding on to the past and embracing for the future. While the evolution of these areas bare no sign of slowing down, they too exhibit the fragility of cultural preservation amidst the conquest of mass-urbanisation and newly imposed ways of being.
