Midnight Blossom (Taiwan, 2016)

Due to low self-esteem, one blindly follows others' opinions. The loud laughter is actually just an attempt to cover up a heart that is too fragile to face the harsh reality. The splendid mask not only hides all the flaws but also obscures the line between reality and falsehood. What is beauty? When did slenderness and thinness become everyone's pursuit?

Director: Liu Yi-Hsuan

Til the End of the World (Macao, 2019)

In the winter of 2012, on the night when the legend of the end of the world came, a couple walked through the narrow streets of Macau, reminiscing about their years of love, and finally fulfilled their promise to each other.

Director: Emily Chan

Our Seventeen (Short Version) (Macao, 2017)

Our Seventeen is a story about youth, music and first love. The story revolves around a relentless and passionate pursuit of music among teenagers and their constant explorations of self-values, starting with Winson adjusting himself to a new school and formed a music band with his classmates.

Director: Emily Chan

Hunting(Macao,2020)

A narrative experimental short shot on film. Women, as prey, are always under scrutiny. Wearing less seems to be wrong; smoking, being rude, and dressing in a masculine way also seem to be wrong. When will it be possible to not be watched?

Director: Tracy Choi
