The “development” of various media states overflows from the surface of material under the influence of southern light and shadow, and is projected into the imagination of time and space, becoming an image of shadow. The Southern terroir and light and shadow area are where people gather to enjoy cool weather and to stay temporarily. It is also where witty words are exchanged and the intersection area for many dieties and strange objects from the terroir/mythological world. Gyrecraft From 300 submissions, Gyrecraft Film Festival selects 6 films that are very characteristic of the Southeastern coastal region and the cultural customs of the South. Using films as a medium, we strive to build a video connection spanning the time difference between the two harbor cities of London and Xiamen. 

不同媒介状态的“显影”，在南方光影的作用下从物质材料的表面溢出，投射到时空的想象中，成为关于影的影像；南方的风土与光影地带，那里既是人们相聚乘凉、暂且停留、妙语连珠之地，也是风土/神话世界中诸多影神异物的交汇地带。环流影像周从300部影片中，精选出6部极具东南沿海地域和南方文化风土的影片，以电影为媒，在伦敦与厦门两座海港城市之间，建立一条跨越时差的影像连线。

*英国首映 “Compound Eyes of Tropical” Through the vision of the fly’s compound eye, the folktale becomes a container, filled with symbolic metaphors like the mirror and shadows, reflecting the flow of cultural identity, ethnicity and the transitional nature of local and global contexts. The film’s stop-motion animation puppets are made using Taiwan’s unique papermaking technique rooted in traditional funeral ceremonies. At the beginning of the film, a shadow puppet mirror transforms into a shaman-like animal dancer. The film uses the perspective of a fly to create a montage film language using the metaphor of the compound eye. Through the use of choreography in the style of the Taiwanese‘Yi zhen’folk dance, the film portrays the Southeast Asian folktale ‘The Mouse Deer Crossing the River’ through multiple perspectives, reinterpreting the story’s multiple facets across cultures. 

《热带复眼》以台湾特有的”死亡丧葬祭典的纸扎技法”进行制偶，并拍摄而成逐格动画，片中开场的皮影镜面，幻化成一尊如萨满般的动物舞者，透过艺阵舞蹈重新演绎东南亚民间故事”鼠鹿过河” ;影像创造一种复眼式蒙太奇的电影语言，让观众透过苍蝇的复眼视角，穿梭在跨国的母题故事里，并以镜子做象征容器，反射文化认同、身份、种族、在地性与世界性的流动变化，诠释其世界民间故事表面看似相异，结构内里却相似的文化本质。
