About

月亮 樹 (The Moon and the Tree) 2021

A short documentary about two Taiwanese artists. Beginning as a rigorous depiction of Lee Pei-jing – a former pop star – undergoing physical therapy, the film metamorphoses into a meditative and nostalgic portrait of wizened actor, Chang Feng.

32 minutes | All Ages

身在何處 (Where Do You Stand, Tsai Ming-liang?) 2022

Commissioned by the Centre Pompidou in Paris, this short film finds Tsai Ming-liang dealing with the loneliness, confinement and uncertainty of the Covid pandemic. In a crumbling home in the mountainous outskirts of Taipei, the filmmaker displays old chairs that he once exhibited, along with his many paintings of them. He also showcases his canvases of his inseparable collaborator Lee Kang-sheng and the co-star of his 2020 feature Days and several ‘Walker’ films, Anong Houngheuangsy.
