Way Back Into Purity - Taipei (2008)Experimental | Taiwan | DV | 8min
Humans are constantly in pursuit of economic prosperity, social harmony and a comfortable life. However, during the process in "pursuit of happiness", we’re more likely to find ourselves lost in vagaries. The harder we chase, the further it will be, ironically. Perhaps the only way to achieve the goal is to “reverse” ourselves until we find our way back to the starting point, and then “maybe” we shall find the true sense of peace and happiness in life. # 2009 Busan Asian Short Film Festival # 2009 Asia Pacific Film Festival
