Selection

Black Spot

Screening: Student Competition 1
Taiwan 2024
Duration: 04:33
Directed: Hau-Tzu Yang
Dialogue Language: Chinese

The original animation "Black Spot" explores the psychology behind the man's reluctance to face his wife's death and society's tendency to delay seeking medical care. The story symbolically represents the man's approach to his own health through the wrong way of caring for a rose. Using the metaphor of "pruning diseased branches" in plants, it conveys the message that humans should promptly seek proper medical treatment when ill. The narrative concludes with a metafictional technique, leaving a hint of suspense to encourage reflection.
