Director‘s Statement

“WANDERLAND”, is what I’d been contemplating to work on during the pre-production of my short film. Originally, I was planning to complete my final year short film back in Malaysia, but due to the impact of the pandemic, I needed to change my plan. I was so aimless at that moment, and was considering whether to go back to Malaysia, for my short film and for my future development. This is how my story was created. During the process, I went through a lot of photographs taken on the previous days, and I spent hours to listen to my family’s voice messages in the group chat. They were talking about health, vaccines, life, etc. It’s a nostalgia.

一部虚实交织的反身性短片，以戏中戏的形式呈现疫情时代留学生的挣扎无奈，将地理空间阻断与个人发展需求的矛盾置换为主客二者的争论冲突，导演和爱丽丝的交流，是一个人自我本我超我的较量。人物始终在逼仄昏暗的空间对话，不时插入的室外空镜倏然就使言语中的乡愁生动起来，蔓延至潮湿的远处。个体眺望二十年后的自省，却是当下群体性的困顿。当全球化时代退潮，逃离尚方兴未艾，回不去的苦痛已无由滋生。
