Runtime
8min 

Fruits on sale – Sharpening knives – Getting groomed by a barber – A bit of sweat on the nape – Fans and flies. In these freckled, disjointed montages of everyday life, we see a faint hint of an upcoming festival as the theatre troupe sound its drums; the children either sit and gaze, or clamber to see the lead actress. After LONG Sih-liang passed away in 2012, this 8mm roll of film was discovered among his personal effects, and is now shown for its first time after 51 years.

This film is not currently online :(

But no worries. There are more just like it in our new program.
