Chiayi Symphony (2004)

The film is a sort of symphony of sounds and images which rises up from the Taiwenese mountains and flows down the paddy fields streams of water, to reach the Chinese sea, gathering landscape memories along its path, people's movements, songs and most of all, tracking the ineluctability of everything; the eternal typhoon cycle, approaching as Taiwaneses switch on ventilators and disappearing as soon as they switch them off; chickens, geese and pigs cooked, eaten, digested and evacuated; adults and children, games and work; city traffic, markets and hawkers, tv-zapping, puppets and flute lessons.
