亞洲視野競賽

在失落與拾得的影像縫隙中，過去的幽魂不斷再現，而強力碰撞的傷痕讓人疼痛地想逃。逃離之前，在地下找一個洞，用樸拙的火光照亮電力來臨前的日子。如果家是逃不了的戰爭地，便學著尋找扶持彼此度過四季的力量。如果疫病是種距離，不如就席地而坐，一起創造一首首超越真實的曲。

Saving a Dragonfly

Taman-taman (Park)

Taman-taman (Park): Two Indonesian poets meet at Tainan Park, using daytime experiences to craft poetry. Inspired by encounters and emotions, their creations take shape through night-time chanting, imagination, and action. Taman-taman (Park) unfolds a journey resembling an ancient fable, with untold stories hidden in the endless night. The storytellers become integral parts of the narratives as well.

From Island to Island

During World War II, Taiwan was part of the Japanese Empire. This documentary explores the experiences of Taiwanese soldiers, doctors, and overseas residents in Southeast Asia during that time. Using cross-generational memory dialogues, family letters, diaries, and videos, the film addresses the complexities of Taiwan's historical memory and diverse identities during that period.

Damnatio Memoriae

This documentary, composed of various video clips and footage, is an exploration to search for some missing jigsaw pieces in history. Something that turned someone into a hero, or an absolute jerk. Some things are hidden under the carpet, from Hiroshima to Teresa Teng to the Space Race, an Olympic and the moon.

Lost a Part Of

Stagnation in the body cannot keep up with the changes in real life. When the memory of the trembling hand is constantly haunting, when the cavity is filled by artificial materials—if the body remembers, how should it respond to years of traumatic past? Three interviewees describe the indescribable body changes and try picking up the hints and signs.

'Our bodies remember what they want us to forget.' - CHAN Hau-chun

Self-Portrait: 47 KM 2020

In 2020, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 swept the globe with panic and death, keeping the whole world hostage in fear and isolation. 220 kilometres from Wuhan, China, villagers in 47KM lived through the turmoil guided by ancestral prophecies and lifestyle, continuing their ordinary existence in those extraordinary times.

No Winter Holidays

Two lifelong rivals Ratima and Kalima have been appointed caretakers of their empty village. Now in the twilight of their lives, they must forget their past and help each other survive a long and harsh winter.

'Life in Nepal today is defined by poverty, gender roles, remoteness, urban-rural divide, caste, and "untouchability." All these manifest in the lives of Ratima and Kalima. They are considered "low caste," the "untouchables" of society, they have little material wealth, and their identity in society is still tied to their common, but already dead husband.

K-Family Affairs

Arum's parents, part of South Korea's 386 generation, aimed to secure democracy. But Arum's perspective shifts at 18 with the Sewol ferry disaster. Even her father's involvement in its aftermath prompts her to question inherited democracy. Reflecting on events like #MeToo and impeachment, Arum ponders her generation's role in shaping South Korea's political landscape.

I Look Into the Mirror and Repeat to Myself

Growing up, a difficult home life was all the filmmaker and her sisters knew. Now as adults and with their parents on the cusp of separation, the filmmaker explores the meanings of their given names, allowing her sisters to tell their stories in their own words and make sense of the love, pain and anger they still carry.

Flickering Lights

In a village on the Indo-Myanmar border, seventy years after Indian independence, news arrives that electricity might come. People are sceptical, and let down too often before. A woman dreams of a better future, a century-old man of sovereignty. As the village waits, life flickers between hope and frustration, idealism and pragmatism.

'It is a region we have visited several times over the past 15 years, engaging with communities, trying to understand, and searching for ways to express what we saw on the ground.

Asian Vision Competition

In the crevices of the images lost and found, the spectres of the past keep reappearing, and the scars caused by strong collisions evoke a painful urge to flee. Before fleeing, find a hole underground and illuminate the days before the advent of electricity with a simple firelight. If home is a battlefield where one cannot escape, learn to find the strength to support each other through the seasons. If disease is a kind of distance, why not find a place to sit and create songs together that transcend realities.
