The Afternoon

Vivi CHEN 2010 Taiwan Fiction b/w 30min Mandarin, Taiwanese Beta
Ten-year-old Gigi is going to the movies with her family in Sunday afternoon. Yet just before their departure, her parents have a quarrel. Her father leaves angrily, and Gigi escapes into her fantasy. The door bell rings unexpectedly with a surprise. The afternoon passed by, but in Gigi’s mind it didn’t. This film combines moving images and stop motion, which adds a favor of pure and innocent point of view to realism. The film expresses potential family problems and struggles to be triggered and the indescribable, reserved yet sincere emotional exchanges between family members from a little girl’s perspective. It is an interaction of reality and imagination.
