Opened in 1965, Linva has been in central Hong Kong for over half a century offering bespoke tailoring. The cheongsam's popularity has since waxed and waned, but Mr. and Mrs. Leung have persisted with their traditional handcraft in spite of cultural changes and urban gentrification. This short film is a continuation of our first offering A Portrait of Sun Wah Kee, in which essentially we consider the question: what of our urban fabric?

This short film about a local restaurant in North Point, Hong Kong, won the First Prize International Diagloue of Cultures Award at 'Switch On Your Creativity', a short film competition held at the Milan Expo 2015.
This film explores ideas surrounding aspects of food and sustainable development in the context of urban Hong Kong and our beloved Cantonese cuisine. Whether we can feed ourselves sustainably depends not only on the future of sustainable farming, but it is also every bit about the sustainability of our urban space, our talent, and our culture.
