Stretching out different faces of Asian documentary films through two distinct independent works. Vigeo Cannonball Run 2016 uses Cantonese narration and freestyle editing to immerse viewers in a deeply personal journey through memories. It reconstructs and retells both the filmmaker's own youth experiences traveling the Pearl River Delta, as well as hidden histories of the region's people and places. Transparent, I Am blends mediums like 8mm and 16mm film, home videos and stop motion animation, assembled by a schizophrenic director, to expose the inner turmoil of living with the illness. Presented as an impressionistic stream-of-consciousness, it portrays the frantic struggles and terrors of grappling with severe mental illness on a daily basis.
