📌 Foreword

Interflow indicates a movement of stream that dances back and forth between earth and water. Throughout the ages, massive infrastructural construction has gradually and constantly interrupted the vibrant, creative interplay between earth and water. Capitalist enclosure forges new territories, while others endeavor to mend what has been engulfed. Our collection of films repeatedly explores human’s two-way routes between water and land - charting the evolution of a lake's shoreline, documenting the faces and happenings within evolving landscapes, and unraveling the complex spatial histories due to land disputes. Through the eye of the camera, we witness the multiple imprints left by interflow and the physical and emotional symptoms of the dwellers. Facing such unstoppable momentum, how might the everyday individual make their stand?

Turn to the divine, rewrite grassroots histories and tales, join collective actions, and bargain with the officials. Let multiple undercurrents go beneath the surface to reveal different trajectories of urban landscape beyond developmentalist narrative.

This screening series presents four films - Li Wen at East Lake (2015) and Go to Street with Boat towards Coop (2022), each captured in Wuhan, alongside Belief before the Deserted City (2023) and Remembering Haikou by Reperforming (2024), both set against the backdrop of Taoyuan. These films serve as inter-reference to each other under land acquisition and real estate monopoly, delving into place memory, unveiling the religious or historical enigmas, and championing artivism and cultural activism.
