A young Chinese photographer and her partner VT live through the wildest year of their lives, moving between the shadows of the pandemic and trancelike underground parties, chasing a form of freedom that feels almost out of reach. But idealism soon collides with reality. Under a cascade of violence, her former life collapses completely. To escape a world where justice is unattainable, the two make a difficult and desperate decision. Their route stretches from Asia to South America and then northward—through Thailand, Dubai, Ecuador, and Colombia, and across the Darién Gap. In Mexico, they ride 8,500 kilometers on motorcycles, confronting endless checkpoints, corrupt police, and armed groups. On May 5, 2024, they finally cross the border—an arduously won moment of “temporary success,” followed immediately by forced return. Everything resets to zero.

Echo

Built in 1969, this former staff quarters of the Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation bears witness to Chiayi's postwar housing development and urban memory. Today, its walls are cracked, concrete eroded, timber decayed, tiles shattered, and the entrance hall is entirely gone. Yet traces of past daily life still linger. Drawing on experimental methods, the film seeks to construct a visually dislocated narrative in which past and present coexist out of sync, offering an alternative perspective on the act of gazing.

Retaliation

The film replicates one of the 7cm Mountain Gun which were used during Japan's 'Pacification' campaign against Indigenous peoples. During this trip, Kao invites Atayal youth to return to the original mountain location shelled by Japanese police in 1906. They fire towards a distant hotel, now located on the site of a village once occupied by the Japanese. With a tone of playfulness and irony, the film subverts colonial aggression while exploring the possibilities of artistic action.

Chiayi's Taste of Time

Braised Delicacies is more than a flavor—it is a legacy shaped by three generations. Master Lin Shun-Cheng upholds traditional craftsmanship passed down from his father, while his apprentice Lai Yun-Chun brings innovation, and Lin's son works to meet his father's high standards. Though different in outlook, all three of them share deep respect for cooking. The film captures how craftsmanship and love quietly endure in this 80-year-old Chiayi establishment of food flavors.

Summoner of Birds

"Yeti, we've got Shakespeare there."— Wisława Szymborska. This sentence feels like a call of human civilization toward the wild, and it deeply moved me. Summoner of Birds stems from my childhood imaginings, exploring the boundaries between humans and other creatures, merging these images with elements of the absurd. Wearing a Ghillie suit, I perform cello in St James's Park, London, embodying a quasi-human being. Pigeons gather and disperse with my movements, creating a subtle rhythm and poetic interaction.
