About his film " A short-story on forgetting and remembering"
„A short-story on forgetting and remembering“ is a 16mm Film produced and shot in Taipei. The film was shot entirely at night, with one protagonist wandering around the city and climbing on different rooftops looking down at the city and its night-scape; at the same time one can hear his thoughts on ‚implanted memory ; what is real, what imagined or projected of a person, of a city ; a history embellished, the margin between reality and fiction disappears.
Filmed on location in 2007
At the occasion of City Fables: the 5th City on the Move Festival, Nov
2007, Taipei, (TW)

16mm Film,20 minutes, English with chinese subtitles
