YEN AND AI-LEE
小雁與吳愛麗 (2024)  Directed by Tom Lin Shu-Yu 林書宇 (Taiwan) 
Program: Panorama of Chinese Film A tender, monochrome portrait of grief, care and fragile connection in contemporary Taiwan.
Anchored by quietly devastating performances from Hsieh Ying-hsuan 謝盈萱 and Yang Kuei-mei 楊貴媚, the film finds poetry in everyday rituals and fleeting moments of solace. A delicate meditation on love and loss, Yen and Ai-Lee reveals the resilience that emerges in the wake of tragedy.
