Kunlin Wang : 2019
A lonely farmstead where an authoritarian father and his two teenage children live in seclusion. A coming-of-age journey of a teenage boy who sexually awakens after discovering the sexual relationship between his father and sister. The boy is trapped in his father's nightmare and tries to repeal the psychological repression by competing for his sister's sexual attention. The sibling love and pure childish joy of being together, which once served to counterbalance familial strangeness, is now disturbed and gradually develops into a sexual attraction and desire. With the ambiguous representation and non-binary nature of the two teenagers' gender and the surreal but naturalistic atmosphere, the film depicts physical desire and connection which changes something in a family dramatically and irreversibly. Kunlin Wang's feature debut premiered in competition at Taipei Film Festival 2019, and had its international premiere in competition at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2019.
