離家出走 (FUGUE) Directed by Xin Yuan Sheng
When objects lose utility, memories begin to wander. The modern metropolis is a metabolism of rapid obsolescence. FUGUE documents the raw, unscripted residue shed across Taipei’s alleyways. By detaching sound from image, the film records forgotten objects not as urban waste, but as silent witnesses to time, decay, and displaced memory. (CP, 2026, 00:04:32, Taiwan)
Disappearance of Time Directed by Andrea Hackl
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TIME is a testament to the cyclical dance of life – of disappearance and becoming. Death giving way to birth, life and death intertwined. The film speaks of the quiet resilience of the earth and our role as stewards of her future; the threads of her history woven into our very being and our story profoundly connected with her. Each grain of dust, each drop of water, telling a story of loss and rebirth, echoing the human experience. Landscapes that once seemed eternal, fading, disappearing, with ever increasing speed, due to climate change and human impact. Glaciers melting. Their presence witness to an ancient time’s passage THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TIME is an invitation to embrace our place within the timeless dance of life, echoing the truth that in every ending lies the promise of a new beginning. Ultimately, it is a meditation on hope and that which survives beyond what we call death. (NAP, 2025, 00:10:30, Netherlands)
