Saving a Dragonfly

In my senior year, I filmed myself and my friends as we went through the college entrance exam under pressure. As a university student, I still grapple with anxiety. Then one day, I got a call from my high school friend saying she was not doing well. I decided to write a letter to her.

National Anarchist: Lino Brocka

Lino Brocka received posthumously the National Artist Award—the highest honour given by the Philippine government—in 1997, six years after his death at 52. But he considered himself an ultimate anarchist. His tirades serve as intertitles. Images, sounds, and music culled from his sixty-plus features. The ultimate homage and deconstruction of the man and his oeuvre.

Leaving and Staying

Uwe Johnson's final study in the English town of Sheerness featured a map of Mecklenburg, his childhood home he never revisited post-emigration. Conceived as a geobiography, this film follows Johnson's texts to locations from his life, encountering people and landscapes linked to his work, sometimes closely, sometimes more loosely.

Resurrection

In 2022, a highway was about to cut across my hometown. I documented the unearthing of graves and interviewed villagers about their memories of the dead. Their narrative enables me to sketch the portraits for the deceased. As I gaze upon them, they seem to question the path and the choices lying ahead of us.

The Veiled City

The Veiled City is a sci-fi city symphony inspired by London's Great Smog of 1952. Merging reality with fiction, the film invites us to understand the smog in the context of the present-day climate crisis.

The Film You Are about to See

The film you're about to see incorporates real material from film history. However, any collusion between art and industry, conflict between freedom of creation and the law, or any hint of moralism in the life of images, are purely unintentional.

Between Delicate and Violent

The video links the director's past to imagination and creation, exploring themes like domestic violence, intergenerational trauma, and resistance. The film considers hands as memory places that can both accumulate and transfer memories. Through hands and their creations, it imagines unearthing lost memories that have not been included in performative, socially acceptable family albums.

Family Trips

Over 60 years ago, my father embarked on a one-way trip to Kaohsiung, settling in Liuhe Night Market. From there, he became a Japanese tour guide. The pandemic suspended his work, prompting a reflection on the past. This film is a personal journey, exploring the intimate bond formed during outings with my father's tour group.

Private Footage

In 2018, the filmmaker discovered a 16mm footage online, capturing a white family's trip to South Africa during the 1960s. The seemingly innocent scenes triggered an insatiable investigation. In a meticulous desktop sequence, Nagata dissected the footage, revealing hidden Apartheid narratives, and transforming the private archive into a poignant exploration of South Africa's troubled past.
