Almost Home (2026)

Jiang Wenjie makes an unforgettable directorial debut in this intimate documentary, where the acclaimed cinematographer and editor behind *Keep Rolling* turns her lens on three distinct voices in Hong Kong literature: Hon Lai-chu, Lee Wai-yi, and Human Ip. Despite their wildly different styles and creative obsessions, the film reveals a shared heartbeat—each writer draws deep inspiration from the physical spaces that shaped them, whether it’s a childhood home, the bustling lanes of Sham Shui Po, or the quiet pastures and woodlands near Lai Chi Wo village. Time may slowly wear away the city’s landscape, but these storytellers keep breathing life into their hometown through words that resist erasure, each in their own singular way.
