Elegy for the Lost Elegy for the Lost

Director: William Hong-xiao Wei

Year: 2025

Through the psychoanalytic and introspective voiceover of a young post-pandemic Chinese migrant in Europe, the film interweaves her private memories of intimacy with public narratives of resistance. As her reflections unfold, she and her community navigate secrecy, repression, survival, looming precarity, and displacement, all while confronting the personal cost of existing in a world that demands their silence.

How to Be a Ghost in Bangkok? How to Be a Ghost in Bangkok?

Director: Jing Zhao

Year: 2025

After being ghosted by a romantic partner during a trip to Bangkok, the artist situates a contemporary act within a timeless Southeast Asian ghost cultural gesture, transforming personal heartbreak into a surreal exploration of ghosthood while reimagining its embodiment through ten playful yet haunting guidelines. Shifting between satire and introspection, the film contemplates the fragility of relationships and the futility and opacity of communication in the hyper-connected digital age.
