Walker

In 2012, the Hong Kong International Film Festival invited Tsai Ming-Ling to make the opening short film. Having grown up with Hong Kongs popular culture, Tsai Ming-Liang decided to pay homage by making a Walker film, contrasting the Walkers slowness with the frenzied pace of Hong Kongs cosmopolitan life. The film ends with a song by Hong Kong actor and singer Samuel Hui, who was Tsai Ming-Liangs idol during his youth. The film was invited to be the closing short film for the Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
