Dragon Parade (2018)
Dragon Parade follows the celebration of Lunar New Year festivities through an experimental lens, employing playful methods of repetition, superimposition, stop-motion and scratching techniques upon film emulsion. The observational approach to the event as quick glimpses interrogates how we might recollect memory from a past lived experience. I can recall attending these festivals in my childhood and being filled with a sense of wonder by the myriad of powerful sounds and movements just swim and clash together.
