Mind Dance

HSU Ya-Ting 2009 Taiwan Fiction color 27min English Beta
How do we make sure of our existence when we can’t preserve our memories anymore? Chris is an aged filmmaker struggling with loss and suffering from Alzheimer. As reality slips out of his control, his memories become disorganized and begin to affect his daily life. Later, this process erodes his awareness to push him into a world of illusion. Are these fragments of mind torn from one another forever? Or can his harmony of mind be re-established in eternity?

Director

HSU Ya-Ting

Born before the end of Taiwan’s martial law, HSU developed a filmmaking perspective shaped by that historical context. The Losheng Sanatorium Struggle became a major influence and a driving force behind the decision to pursue filmmaking.
