A short film by Michael Rush

Café Racers of Hong Kong documents a growing social scene of retro and vintage motorcyclists in a city of high rents, vast income disparity and volatile politics. Shot over a span of 4 years, the short film is a celebration of grassroots subculture and retro style, featuring music from the incredible Geneviéve Marentette, legendary post-rockers Joy Wants Eternity and local rockabilly greats, the Boogie Playboys. Ride with the rockers as Hong Kong’s SRBC motorcycle club take you on a tour of their scene and their city.

Wontonmeen is a short fictional film that follows four young people through the city of Hong Kong for 24 hours as they experience multiple realities, mutable temporalities and the subjective qualities of time.
