"While in art college in Chicago, I interviewed five of my college mates who are of Chinese heritage. Being in a foreign country, one’s ethnicity becomes more apparent and one has to face it all the time. In the film I asked, “How do you feel and what do you say when someone asks are you from China?”. Watching it again after two decades, I find the feelings said then are still relevant today."

Searching for the Zero Fighters documents a little-known chapter of taiwan history, particularly the psychological landscape of postwar Taiwan and the Japanese aircraft left behind on the island after World War II. Through ordinary people’s memories of the Zero fighter planes and the director’s own family footage, the film explores the turbulent period between the end of Japanese colonial rule and the takeover of Taiwan by the Nationalist government. It is the first Taiwanese documentary to examine how Japanese military aircraft were repurposed into everyday household items, and the first historical film to explore why, after the war, many Taiwanese people feared speaking openly about their memories.

Poster for Babalú

2008 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Babalú, by Sofía Velázquez and Carlos Sánchez, portrays the daily life of an elderly, full-time gas delivery man. At night, he picks up an old book, settles into his comfortable armchair, and plays the trumpet as he did when he conducted the orchestra that gives the short film its name. It captures the sadness of witnessing an artist's decline, dictated by necessity. The song he plays on the trumpet seems to weep, like the languid images that make up the video.
