Enlightening the world with design and art!
An innovative and interdisciplinary collaboration between MOViE MOViE and Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC), Life is Art. Design in Motion is a film festival that celebrates arts and design.

Life is Art 2023 is proudly supported by Hong Kong Architecture Centre.
Life is Art. Design in Motion, in cooperation with HKDC, opens with the Hong Kong premiere of Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition, which showcases the biggest collective exhibition of Vermeer’s greatest paintings, and High & Low – John Galliano, which tells the story of fashion’s greatest yet most controversial designer. There are also documentary films ‘MAU’ about the legendary designer Bruce Mau, our BODW speaker from last year, showcasing his vision of ‘Life-Centred Design’ for positive changes to the world through his work ‘Nam June Paik: Moon Is the Oldest TV’, which tells the story of a pioneering video artist who revolutionised the art world in the 1960s and 1970s with his use of technology, design and media. Closing the festival, Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus will be screened in remembrance of the iconic composer's passing earlier this year.
