Co-presented by the Hong Kong Arts Festival and The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, “No Limits” strives to create a barrier-free environment enabling artists and audiences to explore and promote inclusiveness through the arts. This year, “No Limits” present four screenings of film, animation and TV drama at Tai Kwun.

An animated love story about empowerment, control and rejection, All For Claire was created with motion capturing of Claire Cunningham’s unique dance moves.

Like a fairy-tale suitor in a computer-game world, a love-struck young man attempts to win the heart of a young woman by offering her a beautiful rose. Rejected and compelled to face a series of challenges, he stumbles forward, thwarted at every turn. Watching on, the all-powerful young woman, wielding crutches like tools that offer superhuman agility, moves with confident independence through her environment.

Written, directed and produced by Simon Mckeown, an award-winning UK artist renowned for his work on disability, the thought-provoking 3D animation challenges perceptions of empowerment, control and rejection. Created in collaboration with internationally recognised dancer and choreographer Claire Cunningham, one of the UK’s most acclaimed disabled performers, it recreates Cunningham’s unique movements and use of crutches through motion-capture technology.

All for Claire was awarded Best Experimental Film at the 2011 Deaffest, UK. Sponsored by DaDaFest International 2010 and BBC BigScreen, the animation has been screened at international film festivals and on BBC Big Screens throughout the UK. In 2019, All for Claire was selected as part of the British Film Institute (BFI) Disabled Britain on Film permanent collection for capturing and raising the visibility of disability art and culture.
