Synopsis / Hong Kong is well known for its high density concrete jungle, but not many are as familiar with its rich countryside. The poetical film Landscape duet takes an interest in Hong Kong territory and reveals both its urban landscapes and natural environment as two dancers physically explore the radically opposite locations and symbolically embody concrete and water. The wordless film implicitly denounce through dance the environmental issue of over-urbanism which little by little erases the natural landscape in many important cities. The hypnotic super slow motion introduction is followed and enhanced by the original music by singer/musician Matthieu Ha.
