Shards

At the family reunion on the winter solstice, the grandma and mother knead dough to make Tuanzi (Dango, rice dumplings), while the grandpa and father fold gold foil paper into ingots. The son wanders among the adults, worried about a secret he has discovered. On the surface, the day seems fine, with everyone maintaining their usual expressions, yet something hidden simmers and grows within their chit-chat. This is a process-genre film. “Juci” is a Chinese restoration technique that fixes porcelain by nailing broken shards together. Like the vase in the film, the family is both broken and complete, separated and integral.

Lining

Lining (2021) examines the rise-and-fall of the textile industry in Hong Kong against shifts in labor, technology, and capital between the ex-British colony and mainland China between 1946 and 1997. Beginning with the displacement of Shanghai’s cotton mills to Hong Kong on the eve of the Communist takeover of mainland China, the narrative proceeds into the Reform era, during which Hong Kong’s industrial base was, in turn, relocated to the mainland. Weaving together archival material, interviews with former factory workers and managers, and documentary footage shot between Hong Kong and Guangdong, the film describes the transformation of Hong Kong from an industrial to a financial hub based on the trade of real estate. In doing so it traces the material networks that connected the city to the mainland long before the official launch of China’s economic reforms.

Another Place, Another Sound

On the hotel bed, I showed my mom’s dinner banquet video to my boyfriend. We said nothing and kissed in the end, with our entwining shadows echoing my mother’s video images. My boyfriend left home without saying goodbye. I couldn’t find him. Neither did I find my mother after I returned home. She drunkenly hid herself in a storage room and sat on a chair with her head embedded in a hair dryer, like an astronaut’s helmet. I collapsed onto the doorstep when my mobile phone rang. My boyfriend told me he had left a recording on my phone filled with his love for me. The blue light in the storage room resembled a space in the universe, where love wandered in it, between me and him and between me and her. The next day, my mother and I drove to the beach. My mother might have already known my sexual orientation for a long time but never talked about it. Instead, she told me about the boy who fell in love with her in college. Suddenly, she disappeared while the sun was creeping down.

In Her Time (Iris Version)

Set amid the outsized period sets of Hengdian World Studios, the largest film studio in Asia, the film follows Iris, a young actress searching for her voice as she prepares for the leading role in a Chinese historical epic. Couched in the conceit of a “making of” special, In Her Time depicts Iris behind the scenes, rehearsing lines and describing the artistic process of coming to inhabit her character. Throughout, she deliberates over the demand the film places upon her to master performing pain and victimization. Iris’ Version introduces new content shot from Iris’ iPhone camera, intercutting the “official” footage with reflections on the filmmaking process from the actress’ perspective.
