International Competition 3
Endgame
After a tough week at the office, Richard and George like to play war games over the weekend to relax. The dispassionate atmosphere and minimalist style with which the growing brutality is handled slowly wipes the smile from your face, before making sure that it doesn’t return.

Martin Cries
Imagine you wake up one day, all your friends have disappeared. The friends that should be there are gone. So you look. You look everywhere. Every hiding place, each inch of the city, all the marshes, all the rivers. You look, but cannot find them.

Mind Frame

Ulysses
This is one action about memory. During the process of reading all the diaries of my childhood, a person without name, a figure that has disappeared in the memory, suddenly appeared. I went back to the memory of scene, looking for the evidence of her existence. Our memory relies on the reproduction of technical objects made by us. Our experience of the past only comes from the traces of the past, forming the so-called world. The film is an overture of “sisyphus project”，which will last for few years as a spatial narrative plan. Every sub-forks of memory maze lead to Ulysses’s way home.

Everything
Everything is an interactive experience where everything you see is a thing you can be, from animals to planets to galaxies and beyond. Everything is a procedural, AI-driven simulation of the systems of nature, seen from the points of view of everything in the universe. Everything is narrated by the late great British American philosopher Alan Watts (1915-1973).
