Experiencing Interruptions?

"Time is a loop", I wish

A personal poetic film composed of hybrid media of 16mm and motion graphics.
“When I was little, time was slow and I thought I could catch time...Now I made a wish.” The filmmaker transcribes feelings on time and loss with toys, wobbly cradle Balance Balls, and light and shadow.

Compared with traditional filmmaking, the film is more like a childish experiment, a unique process of creation.
I shot the 16mm footage intuitively, wrote the text separately, and finally put them together in post-production. In the repeated edits, I am looking for intertextuality within elements. At some point, it works. Words, images, and sounds, each element is self-contained and interact with each other. The single medium is extended, creating a sense of flux.
