Invisible Landscape
Synopsis
An experimental landscape film exploring the liminal space between the living and the spirit world. Shot in Taiwan over 18 years on Super 8, the hand-processed images capture foggy peaks, ruins, and remnants, while an off-screen narrator whispers eerie stories drawn from family lore and personal encounters. Invisible Landscape traces the unseen through absence and void.
