Experiencing Interruptions?

2020,2021,2020

The short film is a metaphor for real life issues by simply showing some episodes of a person's life after being affected by the epidemic, using simple dynamic lines to show the plot, where the various deformations of the lines lose the boundaries of time. One shot to the end, but spanning "every day" of 2020 and 2021.
The naming of "2020, 2021, 2020" is combined with the short film to express a concept of "if this continues, history will only repeat itself.

Director Statement

It was created during my junior year at school. In the era of the epidemic, masks became a travel necessity. When I looked at the trash can full of masks by my desk one day, I began to reflect on my behavior... From the initial trepidation about the virus, I now leave the germ-absorbing masks just like paper balls piled up in the trash can regardless. From initially dodging when I saw people on the road without masks, to now not bothering to wear masks even though the epidemic is not completely over... I feel scared about this kind of behavior.
