I stitch my skin to the ground<\/h2>\n

USAMI Nao \/ digital \/ 22min. \/ 2023<\/h3>\n

A character mimicking a certain young woman moves through a world constructed with 3D computer graphics. As soon as she sets foot in a subway station, someone emerges from the darkness and assaults this protagonist\u2019s body. A nightmare-like sequence repeats over and over. Then the young woman… A carefully constructed work using screen captures from two games made by the filmmaker.<\/p>\n

ok, you are gone. Oct 05 2022<\/h2>\n

TSENG Yu Chin \/ digital \/ 10min. \/ 2022<\/h3>\n

This work is an expression of condolences through moving images. A younger cousin has died. The filmmaker sits on a windowsill, speaking in a faltering voice about having been shocked for a while after hearing the news from his mother, about a pet who died, and about not having answered when asked how documentaries are made. The backlit screen shot in one cut is full of grief, and before the viewer realizes it sublimates to a space where nothing can be seen.<\/p>\n

The Stream XII-II<\/h2>\n

SAKURAI Hiroya \/ digital \/ 5min. \/ 2022<\/h3>\n

Seaweed that bends as though dancing in a current, clouds that billow dynamically, a vast bed of reeds swaying in the wind. The seasons change and people burn the withered reeds. The bed of reeds from which smoke and flames rise, kindled by the wind, is a sight to behold. This film that condenses the exhilaration and beauty of nature through elements such as footage of waterways and aerial photography using drones is the latest in a series begun by the filmmaker in 2011.<\/p>\n

Confessional Somnium<\/h2>\n

SHI Shengxue \/ digital \/ 4min. \/ 2022<\/h3>\n

\u201cSomething is growing in my breast. I can always feel a slight pain.\u201d Testing revealed the condition was mastopathy. The pain is like a \u201cstone\u201d growing inside the breast. This is a work of subtle hand-drawn animation in which the filmmaker \u201cconfesses\u201d episodes she has experienced as a woman suffering from this condition divided into five chapters. Why are women\u2019s bodies fated to give birth!?<\/p>\n

No changes have taken in our life<\/h2>\n

XU Jingwei \/ digital \/ 44min. \/ 2022<\/h3>\n

Failing to find employment after graduating from a music university, the protagonist returns to his hometown and endures days of worry and anxiety. Carrying his sousaphone, a large wind instrument, he leaves home…. The delicately portrayed scenery that makes the town itself a main character is striking. Amid a disturbing, dreamlike atmosphere, the absurdity of life is projected by the figure of a young man spending idle days with his massive instrument.<\/p>\n
