Post Human

Post Human is the first Taiwanese 35mm stop-motion film fulfilled by independant producers, taken by the well-known photographer John Lin as the director of photography. The film director transforms scrap metal into robots, interpretating an allegory about nuclear energy and environmental protection in the end of 20th century.

Taipei, Taipei

The film was produced independently which used clay and other materials for landscaping to shoot on 16mm film. It shows that Taiwan's metropolis, mainly Taipei, has undergone rapid changes in the times, with vigorous vitality but disorder and lack of overall urban planning.

Keep Silent

Gambling in the night, four men throw the dice of fortune. Suddenly, all sounds are gone from their lives. The adults are muted. Even the babies cry silently. The only sounds left are the pressing knocking from the outside and the tense nerves inside. Who is at the door?

Mind

Creatively inspired, but the puppet can’t seem to execute his ideas. After repeatedly revising, he finds himself dominated by his creation instead. A creative beginning results in an unexpected ending. The subjective “human” becomes the object.
