Kamaal Williams - 3 Yourself

Taken from 'Live At Dekmantel Festival' Buy / stream ~ https://kamaalwilliams.ffm.to/liveatd...

An identity split, a people divided, a city in flux. Working with a group of local photographers, director Tom J Bennett (b. 1995) explores the meaning of freedom and identity in a land with a colonial past and an authoritarian future. Shot at the height of the Hong Kong protests in late 2019, 3 Yourself combines original and archival footage and photography to paint a shimmering quick-fire picture of a revolution.

Tom J Bennett (b. 1995) is a director and writer from the UK. With a background in journalism, he has a specialism for exploring the politics of identity and protest movements. He has written regularly for Vice on this topic, and worked on both news-led and feature-length BBC films in the area. 3 Yourself is his directorial debut.
