Manipulated film stocks frame a love story in vivid and vibrant abstract greens, purples, pinks and blues. Wei plays with absence and presence, human and landscape, through fragmented images and dialogue exploring the agency of objects and the reliability of the image. Simultaneously inviting and elusive, the film is a beautiful questioning of storytelling, image-making, authorship and perspective.

Green Thoughts
William Hong-xiao Wei
Somewhere in the world there is a remote island. The sea. Lush hills. The impenetrable forest. The constantly changing weather. In a lodge by the sea, a Chinese writer immersing herself in reading and writing encounters a Japanese girl who is in a melancholic mood. Night after night some dreams lull them into sleep, but a heavy heart is lost in deep thoughts. What has actually happened and what the two girls are feeling, imagining or remembering starts to overlap.
