On the Verge of Growth | Emerging Animation from Taiwan & Hong Kong
Before growing into towering trees, these tender sprouts begin to emerge everywhere. On city cliffs, by a girl’s window, and within the unnoticed cracks at street corners, they quietly take root and grow. Through diverse mediums and audiovisual languages, emerging animators from Taiwan and Hong Kong create stories that are subtle yet powerful — sometimes sharp, sometimes understated. Within these works, we catch glimpses of fleeting moments of creative spark.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
