Experiencing Interruptions?

On Shanghue Road

An experimental polemic shot in an organic farming commune in Yilan, Taiwan, that considers the insidious deferral of our violence onto the non-human and vulnerable. It deals with spectrums of queerness, nature, non-anthropocentric perspectives, and the cycles of capital in unlikely places.
