Director Biography - Pastinaca Videotapes Plantation

Pastinaca Videotapes Plantation (PVP) is an umbrella designation for several Internetional creatives (established in March 2022, and restructured to version 3.0 in January 2026). PVP focuses on the recycling and re-creation of old/lost videotapes from around the world. Some of PVP's works have been selected or screened at BISFF, Zhang Xianmin's "Top Ten", Unnamed Footage Festival (USA), Festival ECRÃ (Brazil), Milan Machinima Festival, IFFR, Punto de Vista, FIRST Fantastic Film Festival, VRAL, and more. PVP hopes that viewers can discover entirely new ideas from the obsolete videotapes.

歐防風錄像種植所（PVP）是多位網際創意人士的統稱（2022年3月組建，2026年1月完成第二次改組至3.0版本）。PVP專注於世界各地的老舊/散失錄像帶的回收和再創作。PVP部分作品曾入選或展映於北京國際短片聯展、張獻民「十薦」、美國偽紀錄片展Unnamed Footage Festival、巴西Festival ECRÃ、米蘭遊戲引擎電影節、鹿特丹國際電影節、Punto De Vista西班牙納瓦拉國際紀錄片電影節、FIRST驚喜電影展、VRAL等。PVP期待觀看者能從過時的錄像帶中看出全新創意。
