Cinema as a way of seeing.透過電影，重新觀看城市

What happens when the golden age of 1980s and 90s Hong Kong cinema meets the everyday landscapes, architecture, and daily rhythms of Sheffield?

Streets on Screen is a co-curated exhibition showcasing photography and mixed-media artworks created by ten project collaborators. Over the past few months, participants embarked on a unique creative journey across time and space: • Watch: Revisiting iconic 1980s–1990s Hong Kong films to rediscover their emotional and aesthetic resonance. • Identify: Uncovering subtle “British traces,” architectural parallels, and cultural crossovers embedded within cinematic frames. • Explore: Wandering the streets and community spaces of Sheffield, using cameras and mixed media to capture daily connections. • Co-curate: Sharing personal memories, engaging in deep dialogues, and weaving lived experiences into a collective narrative.

Through photography, collage, and mixed-media art, participants have re-imagined legendary film scenes through Sheffield's urban backdrop. By blending personal memories with cinematic nostalgia, this exhibition explores how Hong Kong's silver screen heritage finds unexpected, vibrant new life in South Yorkshire—bridging two distinct worlds through art, dialogue, and shared community stories.

《映畫街道：重新想像香港與錫菲》由十位計劃參與者與團隊共同策劃，透過攝影與混合媒材創作，呈現一趟跨越時空的創意之旅。

參加者重溫香港電影，發掘電影光影中隱匿的「大英痕跡」與文化交融，再走進 Sheffield 街頭，用鏡頭與混合媒材捕捉在地生活的微妙連結。

參加者將自己對香港電影與 Sheffield 的獨特記憶、個人體驗與生活感受，投射在作品之中。香港電影的經典畫面，在 Yorkshire 這片土地上尋獲意想不到的新生。

實體展覽結束後，這個網站把作品、電影畫面與創作故事連繫起來，讓大家從電影、地方或思緒出發，繼續探索兩座城市之間的關係。
