摘要 In the wake of the 2019 Hong Kong Anti-Extradition protests, the independent filmmakers in Hong Kong have been continuously engaged in artistic filmmaking vis-à-vis the social milieu. By focusing on three independent short films, Night Is Young (Kwok Zune 2020), After the Riots, Before the Liberation (Chung Hong Iu 2020) and Stay If You Can/Go If You Must (Elysa Wendi 2019) as case studies, this article aims to examine how Hong Kong’s independent filmmakers employ cinematic elements to construct fear about social conflicts, state violence, trauma and authoritarianism. Crucially, these independent filmmakers have wisely deployed artistic and experimental cinematic strategies, while constructing the aesthetics of fear in Hong Kong’s independent cinema as a form of metaphorical response to the changing post-handover sociopolitical vicissitudes.
