Again the Ants Reincarnate<\/h2>\n

Fall, 2021. As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads throughout the world, silence falls over the Liuzhangli cemetery in Southeast Taipei where the victims of terrorism lie. A man digging in the cemetery, a headless bird, and a three-legged dog. Are these things that appear in the scenery behind the monologue a dream, reality, or a hallucination? Monochrome images that seem to spread silence beyond the screen tell the story of lives hidden in the history of prosperity.<\/p>\n

The Nighthawk Is Not a Hawk<\/h2>\n

WANG Junjie \/ digital \/ 9min. \/ 2022<\/h3>\n

A work of drawn animation based on Miyazawa Kenji\u2019s \u201cThe Nighthawk Star.\u201d The tree branches that metamorphosize into a \u201cnighthawk\u201d at the start leave a strong impression. The nighthawk is ugly, despised by other birds, and pushed to change its name from \u201chawk.\u201d While carefully visualizing episodes from the original work, the filmmaker adds dialogue not found in the text and creates an original, sorrowful \u201cnighthawk.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Eyeball Person<\/h2>\n

MURAOKA Yuri \/ digital \/ 12min. \/ 2023<\/h3>\n

\u201cI\u201d sit on a train in a sailor-style school uniform holding a violin. The man sitting across from me stares at my thighs as \u201cI\u201d gradually open my legs. Then a \u201csunflower\u201d sprouts from my crotch. The filmmaker has written a poem with the same title, and its words weave together the work as a whole. The scene in which a sunflower blooms in time with the melody of Lange\u2019s \u201cBlumenlied.\u201d <\/p>\n

When the filmmaker learns his grandfather was a victim, he visits him with his camera in hand. Drinking alcohol and eating snacks, gradually his grandfather begins to talk about what happened to him. Sixteen years old at the time, he left his father\u2019s dead body and hid himself in a cave. Then he begins to talk about joining the suppressing forces himself\u2026<\/p>\n
