I’m deeply honored to announce that my film Redland Hooves will have its world premiere on May 3 at Prismatic Ground @prismaticground , New York, as part of The Contemporary Chinese Avant-Garde program, alongside so many remarkable works. Much like its own making, the film is built around a woven memory. Throughout the making of this piece, I want to give special thanks to @caeiro404 , whose constant indispensable support and collaboration made this work possible. Huge thanks also to @wheredidtomgo , whose presence helped shaped the making of this work. My sincere gratitude also goes to my mentors and friends at CalArts — love you all. And finally, a huge thank you to the curators @misterminsoo and @inneyp for helping bring this film to a wider audience.

My film Aftertide will have its world premiere this September in Wavelengths at @tiff_net . Immense thanks to @jrcumming , @mr.michaelrobinson , and Betzy! It grew out of everyday fragments—and above all, it wouldn’t exist without the collaboration of my closest comrade, @caeiro404 , who helped shaping its cinematography, sound design, and poster.

关于“看见你”的方式 不是穿过空气就能抵达 是那一些距离 镜子。影子。暮色。 风。门缝。水底。 每一次看见你 你都扮成一样东西 我感谢那些东西 📼: Bloom and Decay - Golden Brown #vlog #videodiary #hangzhou

“The Land Lies Heavy” is a program of contemporary Chinese experimental films. These works consider land and space, navigating legal codes, transformed geographies, and personal manuscripts to consider how people and their identities have been shaped, lost, forgotten, or fabricated by surveillance, bureaucracy, and history. These films revel in the mystery and unknowability of these different places, considering both the materiality of film and the ostensible veracity of text to rupture our understanding of the areas we inhabit and call home. — @misterminsoo /@toneglow 🎟️🌐 Tickets and full program guide at prismaticground.com

Xiamen is a city of distances. The sea surrounds it. Islands sit just across the water — close enough to feel like a promise, still out of reach. Low tide reveals things beneath the surface: old columns, tiles, words no one reads anymore Some people don’t leave through the harbor. They climb to the highest point and wait for a ship. Not sure if it will ever be theirs. No language is completely honest 📹🎞️: me 📼: More Eaze - adagio for pedal steel ensemble and overdubbed room

[fanmade] honeydip - Waiting For The Light I’ve been wanting to make something with honeydip for a while, finally got around to it today. The materials are mostly public domain and archival footage, and I really enjoyed the whole process. Might finish the rest sometime later. #honeydip
