What happens

《木送》(英語:Fallen Treasures)是一部2024年上映的香港獨立製作紀錄片,由韓潔瑤執導。電影耗時五年拍攝與製作,記錄了香港最後一間仍在營運的志記鎅木廠,因政府推行新界東北發展計劃而面臨收地與搬遷的歷程。 志記鎅木廠的歷史可追溯至香港戰後經濟起飛的年代,至1997年後轉型為處理廢棄木材的環保企業。然而,因其廠房位於古洞馬草壟的發展規劃區內,最終被納入清拆範圍。影片透過記錄志記的最後歲月,探討了鄉村工業與城市發展的衝突、環保回收的困境,以及社會對傳統工藝與長者的價值觀等議題。 電影於2024年10月27日在香港亞洲電影節首映,其後於同年12月14日起在香港作有限度放映。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
