Скачать или смотреть Lunar New Year

'Lunar New Year' is a cinematic short film documenting the 2026 Lunar New Year Festival in Melbourne's Chinatown.

Joining these festivities has become a yearly tradition for me. Unlike previous years where the heat peaked at 38°C, this year brought a cooler, humid, and ultimately rainy day. To avoid risking water damage to my film cameras, they had to stay tucked away, but luckily, I had my Fujifilm X-T5 on hand. This was one of those moments where having a weather-resistant body and lens truly pays off!

In spite of the heavy news we see locally and globally, I found so much comfort in seeing people of all backgrounds bringing their families to witness the lion dances and firecrackers. It was a beautiful reminder of the joy in welcoming the Year of the Horse.

This is my second project edited and colour-graded entirely in DaVinci Resolve.
