Caspiar

In 1998, the island of Caspiar sinks, forcing all its inhabitants to flee and become refugees in places such as Hong Kong. Su’s fictional story about one such refugee unfolds through a seemingly stoic interview. The interviewee – a French-speaking white man – works as a domestic worker, a role that subverts colonial expectations of the white expatriate living in Hong Kong. The video concludes with a quotation from the famous “madeleine” passage in Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, foregrounding the centrality of memory and recollection in the reimagination of places, identities and histories.

Winter Sleep

This may be the case with all works, but 'Winter Sleep' in particular feels like each and every scene was made with great care. The story of a young man who suffered unpaid wages may be a bit of a common theme, but 'Winter Sleep' is a movie with great absorbing power. The natural situations and acting allow you to become immersed and empathize throughout the movie. I feel unfair, tired, sad, and angry along with the main character, Seongju. I want Seongju to get the unpaid wages and make good movies, I want my younger brother to become a civil servant, and I want the CEO to go bankrupt. And I also want to eat chicken. A different brand of chicken than the one Seongju ordered.

‘Body’ is an object we are all familiar with. For British sculptor Anthony Gormley, it is a medium for expressing thoughts about space, while for young female artist Wang Ying, it is a potential vehicle for expressing emotions. This documentary uses a split-screen method to create a three-dimensional space like a "body". It not only explores the artistic concept and development of Wang Ying, a female artist born in the 1990s who studied in the UK but also completed it on this basis. The documentary creator (me) thinks about her and her body, from'meeting','seeing' to'existence'
