Synopsis

Force Times Displacement is a 12-minute surreal animation blending bio art, photography, traditional Taiwan music and illustration. Set in a factory that echoes the structures of school and labor, the film asks: What does it truly mean to “work”? It reveals a world of survival, faith, ambition, and yearning.
