Hong Kong West Side Stories is a dark comedy and reveals the obstacles of real residents' stories in Hong Kong, a big family lives in a small flat, two young brothers trying to inherit the house from their father and try to let their wives get pregnant.

在Collision可以看到各種新創Startup，今年多了以“音樂”為主題的新創科技舞台。Remidi的創辦人Andrea Baldereschi，除了有工程師的資歷以外，也是夜店的DJ。在古老的迪斯可年代，DJ都要帶著重重的黑膠唱片箱去夜店放歌，在進化一點，DJ可以用CD放歌，千禧年之後，CD播放器也少了，手提電腦和手機都可以放歌。
Remidi可以說是下一波EDM電音演化論，將DJ或是使用者的雙手與midi結合，發出各種音樂聲響。從十幾歲就常跑夜店的我，見證了EDM的興衰史，當DJ開始用CD放歌時已經引人詬病，接者下來是用手提電腦，現在有人發明電音手套，把人跟樂器結合，真讓人為未來DJ的前途冒冷汗，以後夜店可以請素人上台即興創作，戴上手套後，就可以做音樂、混音、接歌，迎向人人都可以創作音樂當DJ的年代了！
