Shih Yi-fan is a filmmaker from Taiwan, based in Gothenburg.
She is an alumna of HDK-Valand, Göteborgs universitet.
Coming from a background of documentary directing, Shih often inspired by personal stories and explores the boundaries between grey zones and multiple realities.
In her films, she raises political questions about bonds between humans and nature, through the lens of non-anthropocentrism and interculturalism.
A woman goes on nightly trips, in search and awaiting someone who’s impossible to find. Someone who has departed. She tries to comprehend what death means and has an unusual encounter. This film delicately explores cultural differences and the universality of the unspeakable grief, from Taiwan to Sweden.
