About the Work
After years of work in Hong Kong, Zu Hai comes back to his home town. His grandson Asheng has grown up with a distrust of him. When an old friend of Zu Hai dies, he leaves a letter and printmaking tools; Asheng's interest in drawing becomes part of the uneasy life the two now share.
Xu Mingshan made Back Home as a graduation film during an MFA in film at Hong Kong Baptist University. The film appeared in KwanTeo's 2019 Lunar New Year screenings.
