I am a film reel forgotten in Taiwan. I have recorded a happy family life and have been to places, including scenic riverbanks and lively expositions. When the war broke out, everyone left. I was the only one who remained, lying quietly in a film can for 90 years. Now that I am awake, I just want to announce to everyone: I am not a film made by Deng Nan-guang! After the death of the renowned photographer Deng Nan-guang (1907–1971), small-gauge films presumably shot by him were donated to the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute. This film, a re-creation based on those archival images, reconstructs the scene of amateur image-making during the Japanese colonial period from a contemporary perspective. (TIDF)
