Sci-fi Reimagined: The Body as an Alien World

Guest-curated by KUO Ming-Jung, this program focuses on how female directors utilize sci-fi elements to explore the blurred boundaries between body and environment, perception and power, and technology and emotions. Abandoning the cliches of alien territorial conquests and doomsday competition, the films featured in this program often depict the body as a space for outside invasion and mingling. From sensory manipulation to non-human perspectives, these films divert sci-fi’s motif from planetary relations towards self-perception and reflections on humanity’s impact on Earth. The body is not just a subject that journeys to alien worlds, but the alien worlds themselves.
