The land carries memories. From afar, I often think of Hong Kong’s sea and Taiwan’s mountains. The days of my childhood—doing nothing, daydreaming in the warm summer breeze—remain vividly etched in my mind. Only after growing up, only after feeling lost, did I come to realize that beneath the soil lie many complex and thought-provoking stories: stories of colonialism and postcolonialism; stories of escape and homesickness. Through stories that flow between sea and sea, mountain and mountain, we hope to invite everyone, in the new year, to reflect across nations on the meaning of land and identity.
The surreal often emerges from everyday life. The rituals, urban legends, and folk beliefs in this selection may appear as distant as myths, yet they are deeply embedded in our daily experience, touching the most potent emotions and sense of awe within us. I have always believed that the surreal is not the strangeness of the external world, but an enlargement of what lies within. Between the mysterious and the mundane, the landscapes of Asia give rise to their own authentic and singular tales. These films move through the cracks between reality and myth, illuminating the subtle, ineffable connections between people and the world, between faith and the void.
