Shanghai: Here and Away

Capturing the landscapes of two vastly different destinations, “Here and Away” asks the age-old question: city or countryside? Filmmaker Andrew McCormack has lived in both urban and rural environments, and has taken it upon himself to visually represent the eternal dilemma. To create the foil between the two, he juxtaposes Prince Edward Island, Canada, and Shanghai, China. An old man in Canada explains why he never left the island, and a young woman in China explains the allure of the city’s vibrant life. The subjects may not understand each other, but that doesn’t matter — we gaze into their different worlds and see the beauty in both.
