Program Note

After two years of living in Korea and coming back to Hong Kong due to Covid pandemic, Cherry (Gladys Li) opens a YouTube channel. In trying to increase the number of subscribers, she hears about e-ghosts. Strange things happen one after another around her, she finally comes to believe in the existence of e-ghosts. She asks her best friend, Sean (Angus Yeung) for help to exorcise the curse of the e-ghosts. The thing that sticks to me 24 hours is not a friend or family, but my mobile phone. It knows me better and remembers me more accurately than I do. Social Distancing is a horror movie that implants the fear that a mobile phone is beyond my control and even dominates me into the loneliness of social distancing and isolating during the pandemic. This film’s persuasive power comes through Gladys Li’s casual acting and the backdrop of the Covid-19 era we just went through. The film immerses the viewer in the latter part, as if they are all in the game. (Ellen Y. D. KIM)
