Debris (HD/color/sound/11;26/2018)
映写事故で本編から断絶されたフィルム片。千切れたコマは映写できない。しかし、私はそのフィルム片の集積から像と共に物理的なダメージも抽出し新たな映画へと再構築した。この作品は、映画や写真の欠片がゴミとして朽ちるのか再び映像表現の要素となり得るかを問う実験である。
Taiwanese experimental film collective ReaRflex presents work from members Johan Chang, Erica Sheu, and Tzuan Wu. This selection of films is tender diaries, and alternative world-building inspired by transitions, reflections from everyday life, and familial anecdotes. These films involve hand-made experiments with super 8, 16mm film, from hand processing, to direct filmmaking (sticking, drawing, and scratching directly on film.) and in-camera editing techniques.
After the screening, there will be a workshop on direct filmmaking on 16mm. Participants are encouraged to learn more about 16mm film with hands-on experience.
In addition, Keitaro Oshima, who has been creating cutting-edge film works in Sapporo for many years by reusing found footage and using experimental methods, will come as a special guest and screen his work!

Program notes (Runtime: 35 min)
“The Sentimentalists” – re/visit 濫情者 再/訪
handmade films from ReaRflex
1.
Birthday Song by Erica SHEU
2021 | 3 min | color | silent | 16mm projection
I wanted to make a film for my birthday / I wrote down as many notes as I could / until I couldn’t keep up / I started to film but nothing interested me / I decided to print and cut my journal / and thought of Interior Scroll / I pulled a long strip out / and used it as a bookmark

Fur Film Vol.1: I don’t own a cat by Erica SHEU & Tzuan WU
2021 | 7 min | color + b&w | super 8, 16mm | sound | digital projection
The cat I don’t own runs through windows between different spaces and times, and it disappears before finishing a sentence.
Using outtakes and rushes (what “fur film” means in Mandarin) to redeem the affects in these images we produced for. The film is the first volume of an ongoing exchange diary project between Erica SHEU and Tzuan WU. From the filming exercises and hand processing from the very beginning, we collaborate and experiment with different workflows of audio and visual between Taiwan and USA.

Flight and Frame 1/5400コマの独歩 by Johan CHANG
2022 | 10 min | color + b/w | super 8, 16mm, digital video | sound | digital projection
An 8mm & 16mm film experiment made during the year of Covid-19 around the time I moved back to Taiwan from Japan. I shot 8mm footage during the state of emergency in Japan and just after moving back to Taiwan. I then spent several months cutting and pasting each 8mm frame onto 16mm film. Sometimes the daily fragments were too sentimental, but the film gave me shelter.

It follows It passes on by Erica SHEU
2023 | 6 min | color + b/w | silent | 16mm projection
Incense yielded a little light and led the way to hide from bomb. Broken dishes time travel.
Imaginations of a post-war island, Kinmen, from familial anecdotes. Tracing the roots of cross-generational sentiments behind the glare of glasses, the display of a self-made museum. Lights reveal and conceal the stories.
5.
Siren’s Lullaby by Tzuan WU
2023 | 3 min | b/w | sound (digital) | 16mm projection
The Mermaid exchanged her songs for walking on land. Perhaps, the sound of infants who have not yet learned a language, are like the foam that has not yet floated to the surface of sea. Imagine that this world, which we cannot sense, may eventually turn into a bubble. This film is a repeated exposure experiment of a roll of 16mm film, combining digital and analog image, and using predetermined graphics to structure the synchronization of the sound and image.
6.
The Silence of Sirens by Tzuan WU
2023 | 6 min | color | sound | digital projection
The Silence of Sirens, in a Kafkaian way, might transit a sound underwater.
A certain embryology of imagery:
Sirens sing behind an obvious screen while the city sinks.
Beneath of the sparkling waves. below the obscure light,
an enormous clam breathing out bubbles, bubble burst out mirages, and mermaids turn into foam.
Then the world gets darker and darker, rotating in a sphere.

Debris
HD/color/sound/11;26/2018
Film fragments severed from the main reel due to a projection accident. These torn frames are unprojectable in their original state. However, I extracted both the images and physical damage from the accumulation of these fragments, reconstructing them into a new film. This work is an experiment that questions whether the remnants of film and photographs will decay as waste or can once again become elements of visual expression.
