The Disappearing City is a short film that reflects on the society we live in today. It is also a film that envisions our future. Living in a fast paced world today, we often miss out on the things that we once cherish most, things that really matter in our lives. People seek and yearn for tangible materials, things that prove a certain social status. As a result, it is difficult for one to understand the values and ethics in life, and how we should uphold them. In the future generations to come, they will have a harder time relating to their forefathers †forefathers who have brought them the comfortable lives they would be living in. In order for them to preserve history is by making history present. The short film illustrates a mother reliving history in the future, exhibiting culture and heritage. And the daughter, escaping from history, wants to be in the present. The past seems so farâ€fetch, so intangible, so unrecognizable.
