ABSTRACT
The chapter describes a cellphilming project with two Filipina and two Nepalese young women in post-Occupy Hong Kong to speak back to essentialized notions of difference and exclusion. It explores cellphilm production as an act of civic engagement for young women in post-Occupy Hong Kong, and examines how four young women's experiences of community filmmaking with cellphones have influenced the ways in which they engage politically in their young adult lives. The four young women "speak back" to power through their cellphilm productions, through the screening of these cellphilms and in the disseminations of the videos in a participant-managed digital archive on YouTube. In their discussion of politics and civic engagement, and in their community cellphilming practices, the women work together to articulate their own ways of knowing and acting in Hong Kong.
