When Yesterday Comes
時光中

I rarely see or speak to my own father. Old images, which have an independent, fictional time, intimately occupy my and my father’s consciousness or memories. After nearly 30 years of this frozen relationship, I look forward to using film to document this ‘time’, which becomes a concrete and direct journey when it radiates through a world filled with real emotions.

A Nice Travel
Shen Ko-Shang, Luis Cifuentes
I-Ling is a young professional moving to another country for work. Saying goodbye to friends is hard, but it is hardest going back to family for a goodbye. The past is shocking, the future is uncertain. Among the coming and going she is suspended by a thin thread of identity.

Love Talk
Shen Ko-Shang
Seven years. Eight married couples. They are open and honest, reflecting on why they married each other in the first place, why they have lost the passion, and why they are tired of the other person's problems with the mother-in-law; they talk about sex, having children, and the fact that they can't stand each other any longer...

Caring for an autistic adult can be seen as an act of faith. It is unpredictable. A regular interaction can lead to a violent lashing-out. However, due to its lack of exposition and its pure form of observation, the film captures something even more profound: life as a collection of failure, pain, and tragedy as felt by its protagonist, Chen Hung-tung, a father who cares with extraordinary patience for his autistic son Li-fu.
