Synopsis

The seventh film of Zhang Mengqi's series portraying the small village 47 km away from Suizhou in Hupeh, China. An old political slogan on the wall is thought to be a mysterious thing like the Sphinx's secret. The film is an outstanding observation documentary that reflects the historic and political messages with cine-aesthetic frames, presenting ingeniously personal and communal perspectives.

Synopsis

In a desolate cabin, there is a father and son. The distance between the camera and its objects is so close that what is shown to us is nothing but a glimpse of bare skin exposed while changing, foods on the table, a cigarette held in a hand, etc. As time passes by unintelligibly, the rhythm of repeated and enlarged acts becomes a ritual for the audience.

Synopsis

During 1960-90s, several theaters and public spaces in Seoul and other cities, such as Pagoda theater, Keukdong theater, and Seongdong theater, had been appropriated as the crucial ‘cruising spot’ by male sexual minorities. Now the main stage of cruising has moved from the physical spaces to the virtual fields. It seems there is no spatial validity as the Cruising Spot any longer.

Synopsis

The keepers are kept busy with the animals under their care. These animals, although some may haven’t completely lost their innate instincts, are unlikely to survive if released back to the wild. It’d be difficult for them to live in packs and find food on their own. Ultimately, the zoo may well be the new habitat that they must adapt themselves to live in.

Synopsis

Play means to me an act of freeing from the world I am entangled in. It alienates the times we are living in, but for children, it is a part of their everyday life and means the life itself. Children find a new play everywhere, create it and naturally enter the world of imagination. I am full of envy of their time mysterious and good.
