This film is my attempt at an unconventional visual narrative language. I really admire Robert Bresson's handling of the relationships between film shots. I think what he has done is to try to distil a unique aesthetic that the film has. I also tried to create a montage of sound in this film. The influx of different sound imagery creates a narrative language, and the sound itself can be seen as an abstract noise, allowing meaning to fade into the sound, thus creating a pure music.

Moon at Night | 月夜


Has the moon disappeared in the contemporary life world? In the night of urban life, the never-ending neon shackled people's eyes firmly on the earth. Can the eyes that have been ravaged by the strong light clearly see the faint moonlight in the sky? Heidegger mentioned Apollo’s moon landing in an interview with Der Spiegel on September 23, 1966. He couldn’t help sighing: “The giant tree of human existence has already been uprooted  totally.” The moon, the dwelling place of the fairy in ancient times, has long been proved to be a pale and barren land. After all, is the lonely shadow looking up at the moon already sealed in an ancient scroll? After all, in the era of technology that sweeps away all halo and mystery, what does the moon mean to us?

月亮是否已然在当代的生活世界中消隐?都市生活的夜晚,永无停歇的霓虹将人们的目光牢牢地束缚大地之上。备受强光摧残的双目是否还能分明见到空中熹微的月光。海德格尔在1966年9月23日接受明镜杂志的采访时提及阿波罗的登月,不禁慨叹:“人类存在之巨木是已然被连根拔起了。”月亮,这往昔仙家的居所如今早已被明证为惨白的荒芜之地。究竟,举头望月的孤影是否已是封藏于古老的书卷?究竟,在扫除一切光晕与神秘的技术时代,月亮对我们还意味着什么呢?
