Who says animation is only for kids? As we fall out of childhood and into adulthood, reality and imagination start weaving the world we live in—blurring, tangling, never quite clear. From the identity struggles of Hong Kong’s queer community, to the quiet battles of the working class, to the existential weight carried by city dwellers—these complex, three-dimensional selves are often flattened into frames we can’t say aloud or capture on film. And beyond each frame lies reality, projecting itself back at us—whispering softly, shouting underneath.
Before the day comes when reality and illusion tip out of balance, we swim within transparent bounds. Through the refraction of glass, we see only a warped reality—at times imagining ourselves the hand in control, yet in truth only the mouth awaiting its feed. In this vast fishbowl we call the world, bubbling away, who among us is any freer than the others? The moment the goldfish appears in the video： The Last Man on Earth（00:30） Monsoon Blue（00:36） Keep Out（00:14） Set Sail（01:07） Gold Fish（00:03）
Summer arrives, the ghost gates open, and spirits stir restlessly. In this bewitching month, let our curated selection of fantastical animations guide you into the liminal spaces of the underworld. Is it monsters that truly scare us, or is the human more terrifying than any ghost? Let's keep watching to find out—
Once upon a time, there were stories in the landscapes. A mother’s quiet anxiety stretched across the winter plains of Inner Mongolia; a boy grew up in the windswept fishing villages of Taiwan; two scruffy children plotted their passage to adulthood in a withered cornfield; an artist-filmmaker captured the homesickness of the Burmese Chinese community on Huaxin Street, New Taipei; and a goldfish fable unfolded within the narrow, suffocating streets of Hong Kong. In these films, landscapes are more than mere cinematic settings; they are rich with symbolism and reflect the inner worlds of the characters.
Perhaps it’s because I grew up in a crowded, complex city that I’ve always been drawn to films set in urban landscapes. The dense weave of skyscrapers and winding streets has a certain allure, holding countless souls and stories within. I like to quietly observe these passing lives—moments of movement, waiting, and everyday fragments. It’s not just about seeing the world, but about finding, within these intersecting paths, a version of myself I once knew.
When dreams return in fragments, when memories slip away, when the past comes rushing in, when the storm circles back—take a few minutes, just drift for a few minutes. The everyday can transcend time and space; abstract animation and imagery capture colors we cannot speak aloud, like elephants hidden in a castle, a head holding onto its last strand of hair, someone lost in a midsummer dream, or a fierce cyclone swirling outside. We all need—and deserve—these few minutes.
