San Diego Asian Film Festival/ Taiwan Cinema Showcase
Sun Nov 9, 2:20 PM - Sun Nov 9, 3:30 PM

Exit:

Ling, a Kaohsiung garment worker in her 40s, observed the textures of daily life utterly alone – a sticky door, peeling wallpaper, sleeping patients – with hot flashes and aging on the horizon. She has been passively marooned by a sassy daughter who avoids her, a radio-silent husband working in Shanghai, a world of coworkers disappearing when the factory moved to China. Exit presents gorgeous long shots of Taiwan’s fading infrastructure and moments of strange life. It’s about a woman observing her own life running dry and mutely making the smallest of adjustments toward some sort of release. It’s tender. It’s delicate.

This screening is made possible from “Spotlight Taiwan” project, collaborated by the Ministry of Culture, Republic of China (Taiwan) , Taiwan Academy in Los Angeles, UCSD, Pacific Arts Movement and generously supported by Dr. Samuel Yin (尹衍樑先生).
