White Clouds

This song is an adaptation of the poem "White Clouds" by Taiwanese poet Lo Lang (1927-2015). The recording was made by Lo's daughter Sirong, a renowned, award-winning singer-songwriter in Taiwan. When Lo Lang wrote the poem in 1950, he was expressing his deep desire for freedom. At that time, many Taiwanese were suffering from extreme violence and political repression at the hands of the ruling Kuomingtang, which took over Taiwan after losing the Chinese Civil War to the Chinese Communists. This recording, made in 2018, marks a watershed moment for Lo Sirong and her now deceased father, as Taiwan flourishes today as a fully democratic society.

From the first minute to the last, from surreal, incongruous scenes to indigenous funeral ceremonies, from fish ponds to ruins, from women to men, from a telephone to a tortoise shell, from fortune-telling to Taoist salvation rites, from color to black and white, from Ma'nene to Family Constellations, from animals to being animalized, from sorrow to tranquility … Every image performs a death, releasing a vast vitality.

We experience a lot of poems as a record of real life. Through the specific Taiwanese backdrop, the poetry film illustrates a series of moments to approach the concept of time, which is not as concrete as we are taught. As a poet, the filmmaker presents her ideas on the nature of reality, existence, what is there and what is not there.
