Talk to 鬼

A disabled person, abandoned by family, society, and the system, suffers through exploitation and abuse. When his last means of survival, his welfare benefits, are stolen through fraud, he takes his own life. After he throws himself off the building's rooftop, the building is abandoned due to terrifying rumors of the 'Wheelchair Ghost.' The building owner's desperate efforts - involving YouTubers, the police, and various shamans - all fail to drive the spirit out. The entity is revealed to be more than a single angry soul; it is the collective fury of all those neglected by society. Salvation arrives in the form of a disabled shaman who hears out the ghost’s words and faces his lifetime of anguish. The shaman understands his pain, performs a ritual of solace, and concludes with a final ritual to appease the spirit - staging it directly outside the home of the social enterprise CEO who defrauded the man. The marginalized voices that society chose to ignore are still being heard.

The Wandering Trees

The Wandering Trees is a modern queer short film that delves into the emotional connections between people and the individual's self-identification. Through the stories of two female characters, Zhou and Yu, the film portrays the trials of emotions through time and distance and the struggles and growth of individuals when facing the past and reality. The“tree” in the play symbolises the deep yearning and dependence in people's hearts, while “wandering” represents the pursuit of freedom and the future.

As the light withdraws

A faintly interwoven story, of a boy who wrote poetry beneath the shadows of a sleepless city, of an old man who lives simply to light fireworks and calling out to another world far beyond, of a young teacher who once believed, with all her heart, that art could reshape the world and a young woman who was at once, a dream, a hope, and a wound. Their conversation will carry through the night in an empty bar, clinging to what’s left of themselves and trying to preserve their identities in a world where nothing is certain, except change.

Wilderness

More than a decade ago, a pessimistic pastor, weary of the world due to his physical problems, imprisoned a woman who was passing by and had shown him no respect in his home one evening at dusk. He intended to teach her a lesson, but she ridiculed him again. In a fit of rage, he accidentally killed her. The next day, after regaining his composure, he decided to sell his cattle, dispose of the body, and flee. However, as two of his cows were not sold in time, he had to postpone his departure for a day. He did not know that on the last night, a small criminal gang of three people, intending to steal money, accidentally broke into his house. Fearing that his crime would be exposed, the shepherd decided to make another mistake. Finally, due to his serious injuries, he left this world that he loved and hated.

Staff Waltz for the Shore

Haerim visits her grandmother’s coastal home dreaming of the sea, only to find the beach of her childhood paved over and inaccessible. Her inability to reach the water mirrors her own profound sense of displacement. An awkward reunion with her grandmother and aunt, the sweet yet alienating taste of canned peaches, a suddenly overturned umbrella - these scattered fragments make up her (un)ordinary journey. Through this empty summer, the film questions the very meaning of place and belonging.
