ufo:pm

On a humid afternoon, Lin Mingming, an eight-year-old girl, gets caught between her parents' quarrel. The career pursuit and ordinary life heavily burden this family with the imbalance and struggle between parent-child relationship and personal value. The exhausted, impatient, and disappointed parents seem strange to their daughter. "ufo:pm" presents the struggle and imbalance between three ordinary family members' daily lives and their individual willingness: a daughter that doesn't fit into the behaved and polite stereotype, a mother that struggles to sacrifice her own career pursuit and compromises to the family, a father that carries the financial burden and strives to obtain success. This could not be more common in every Chinese household. The three personalities collide on a dining table.

The Little Refugee

In 2015, the Syrian boy Aylan appeared dead on the beach in Bodrum, Turkey. The image shocked and alerted the world to the refugee crisis. The film imagines what would have happened to this child until the day of his death, when the boat in which he was with a family heading to Greece turned on the high seas. The story arises from a moment of magical realism, in which Aylan's spirit emerges from his body and wanders back to the world of refugees and those provoked by war, who escape to escape for a better life.

At Some Point In Time

Due to the unadaptable school life and his introspective character, he starts to imagine animals escaped from the earthquake as his friends. However, the more he immerses in his fantasy, the more he is pushed by the reality. With the pressure from his unsatisfying homework, schoolmates’ opinions and caring from others, how should Pak Chi confront himself and his imaginary friends?
