Will McCallum speaks to Chris Dewolf
Chris Dewolf has never heard of Brazillian electro pop band Cansei dei ser Sexy, but he has heard of Brazillian electro pop band CSS, the acronym for the Brazillian electro pop band Cansei dei ser Sexy. Chris heard a cover they played of New York band Asobi Seksu’s “Thursday”, he liked it, but ‘can’t pass judgment’ on the band as a whole.
What does this have to with the fact that Chris has come all the way from Montreal to sit in a class in Hong Kong as part of a pre-semester boot camp? Very little.
I asked him what he’s doing here as my second question:
‘Well, I want to meet the people I will be studying with (for the Master of Journalism) … and I also want to figure out how to shoot good video’, he said.
The moving and still image is a clear interest of Chris. He counts his highlight in Hong Kong so far as an exhibition in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, focusing on the lives of residents forced to leave their homes.
A resident of Tsim Sha Tsui, Chris is perhaps closer to the everyday Chinese life than the average international HKU student – who are more than likely to refer to a place called TST than Tsim Sha Tsui.
Chris is here all year, and this interviewer strongly suggests that you make an introduction.
