Lin Shih-Chieh

Inspired by the literary classic The Tale of the Lady’s Fan by Haruo Sato, a Japanese female director travels to a historic manor in Tainan for location filming. What begins as a creative pilgrimage to her “spiritual home” soon dissolves into a series of unexpected disruptions on set. As the cameras roll, a century-spanning odyssey of images, memory, and self-discovery begins to unfold.

A snooze alarm clock cannot wake a sleepy person. The bell of the alarm clock hence becomes a hypnotic trigger. Such an ordinary sound is redefined in our drowsy moments, and we are also liberated from the sounds that condition our lives—queue management systems, electric scooters, air raid drills, and public demonstrations. These sounds are released from the soft soil of our consciousness and grow into a new scene. And we sail with those who cannot be awakened on a boat drifting off course into a new realm projected by frequency. This is a film you can watch with your eyes closed.

After the mass distinction in the Anthropocene epoch, the Homo Sapiens Replacement Project (HSRP) is conducted to reserve human beings. The remaining human are assigned to reincarnate into reborns bio-technologically with formatted memories.

The camera zooms in to its ultimate to the sky and catches what we can’t see with our naked-eye: noise, space, moonlight, and waves.
