Films:

ROYGBIV (before the end, the lights shine bright)

Dir. Rebecca Shapass 2022

USA 16 min

A meditative portrait of blue hour & the urban constructions that frame it. The film observes modes of connective and enforced time-keeping through human-made infrastructures gridding the sky & ground such as street lights, trains, electrical cabling, and alleys. How do these human interventions create, harmonize with, and disrupt the rhythms of the earth’s rotation and the way living beings exist within it?

I'll Leave Tomorrow

Dir. Chen-Yi Wu 2021

Taiwan / USA 20 min

In the year of 2018, a twenty five year-old filmmaker briefly came back to Taipei, her hometown, during the summer break. During her visit, she found that the lives of her friends seemed to be moving forward, while she was stuck between two countries and two languages.

The Red Tide

Dir. Sally Lawton 2022

The Red Tide follows my mother on a life changing move to Florida. Her new home is located near famous earthworks by Robert Smithson, the enormous art collection-turned-museum of John Ringling, and beaches plagued by a toxic phenomenon called the ‘red tide’.
