Natalia

“Natalia” is a film I made in Poland from the perspective of an Asian student. I went abroad for a year, in order to escape from the monotonous life back home in Taipei—only to realize, that I had merely created a new kind of repetitive daily routine in a foreign land. The film presents the absurdity of everyday repetition with abstract imagery. Through the bilingual internal dialogue of the protagonist, Natalia, who becomes aware of this looping pattern, the film questions whether travel is an escape from the cycle or simply the beginning of a new one.

Smiles & Sugar

This animation is about something different that happened to a sad baker who only baked for money one day. The baker saw a girl who looked hungry and offered her a piece of bread for free. She was delighted and smiled with joy. Later, the baker realized that his bread could help people and that money might not be as important as he thought. From that day on, he began to bake bread for free and give it to people in need. Happiness fills his mind as people smile at his kindness; caring for others heals everyone's hearts.

Three-St-one

During his school years, Ji-woo lost his closest friend, Kyung-su, who vanished without a trace by the river. The memory of that day still grips him. Now a potter, he works toward a group exhibition yet drifts apart from those around him, unable to bridge the distance carved by loss. When Kyung-su’s younger brother appears with a stone left behind, Ji-woo must confront what he has long avoided and begin piecing together his fractured memories. What does the stone preserve, and what can the pottery hold?

That Anxiety Has a Mise-en-Scène

"Young contemporary history and young tumors resemble each other — both parasitize my prime years." The malfunction of both state and body passes endlessly through the MRI scanner under the diagnosis of a prologue without a main plot. A single film never begins; instead, opening scenes pretending to be from different films repeat schizophrenically. This anxiety, named the invasion sense, constructs a complete reality through unexecuted directives — unrealized wars, uncured illnesses. The film paradoxically addresses a present in which, even without a main plot, anxiety itself constitutes a world, suspended between fiction and reality.

Touching the Sound

TOUCHING THE SOUND is an experimental documentary that synesthetically re-interprets the sound heard and generated by people whose fundamental human values are under threat. The film's immersive 7.1-channel sound invites the viewers to resonate with and empathize with the tremors of the people confronting panhuman crises such as climate change, gentrification, and war. Through a series of omnibus stories unfold in Gwangju, Jindo, Istanbul, and Tsogttsetsii in Mongolia, the film explores the sonic expressions of people on the edge-between life and death, settlement and wandering, and memory and oblivion-through a tactile experience.
