The Bus Is Not Coming
2026
Duration: 03:45
Directed: Mei Xuan Chan
Have you ever waited agonisingly for a bus that suddenly decided to take its sweet time to arrive? This film begins with a simple mistake: getting off at the wrong bus stop. What follows is the absurdist wait for a bus that may never arrive. Blending live-action, experimental photography and stop-motion, The Bus Is Not Coming intimately invites viewers to sit within the discomfort of not knowing, and to find their own reflection while waiting. Please hold on to the handrails, you're in for quite an odd ride.
