ELEPHANT GYM – DEITIES’ PARTY, 3min., Taiwan, Music Video
Directed by Che Yeh
This passage describes a music performance with the theme
of summoning deities. It combines Taiwanese traditional musical
instruments and modern music sounds and presents a scene
of prayer through the interaction of sound and deity statues.
During the performance, the boundary between reality and
illusion is blurred, and the audience wonders if they have
summoned the deities, or if the deities were summoning
them.

When a young hopeful is suddenly dumped after he proposes to his on again off again girlfriend with a fledgling screenwriter by day rideshare driver by night bearing witness to the humiliation, he lands himself in a debate with a widow over whose loss is more painful. Through the darkness of their shared grief, however, the heartbroken man and the grief-stricken widow find grace and the metaphorical light at the end of the tunnel.

DESERT PSALM – NIGHT TEACHER, 9min., USA
Directed by Lilly Bechtel, Cat Rider, Zap McConnell
Inspired by “Women Who Run With the Wolves,” the cult classic feminist book by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, this short film explores themes of myth, transformation and power and feminine instinct. The call to a more empowered relationship to grief shows up in the way of many bones, one 50’s pink payphone in the forest, and many pig skulls from a local butcher strung across the apparition of La Loba, or Bone Woman, who drags them around like the weight of ancestral womanhood and modern day gender expectations.
