YiChin Tsai

Is This Now the Time I Should Let You Go? (現在是不是時候該將你放下了呢)

Director YiChin Tsai Composer Leo Lindgren
9' - 2023 - Animated film, Documentary - Format: DCP - Dialogue: Mandarin
This short film is part of the Competition for Belgian Student Shorts.

Like the scenery from a running train, memories are beautiful, blurry and keep changing. This is a film about a daughter’s feelings of losing her father.

After her 13 years processing of the loss, the author mixed video footage and analog film with animation techniques, and brought a diary-like atmosphere in this experimental animated documentary, to immerse the audience in the unspeakable feelings of losing a loved one.
