It is inspired by a Hong Kong film "Hand Rolled Cigarette" To respond to the site's history as a car park building with a hollow portion for flyover crossing through, the original car park access is retained and space is reserved for keeping cars on the existing flyover to experience "flyover". The pathway connecting the entrance and exhibition hall under the flyover reappears the route of chase scene in the film. A separate path is designated for staff and crew in order to equip standard cinema features for Cantonese opera performances. It also serves as an emergency exit.
