Mountain Spirits

About This Movie

Mountain Spirits is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between memory and nature. The film dives into WANG Wen-chih's artistic journey, reflecting on his childhood in the mountains of Chiayi. You really get a sense of the textures and sounds of the forest through his work, which is crafted using bamboo, rattan, and wood—natural materials that speak to the environment he’s rooted in. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, allowing viewers to absorb the beauty of his installations. It's not flashy, but there's a raw sincerity in the way he engages with collective labor, which makes the process feel alive. There’s an almost spiritual quality to the atmosphere he creates, inviting you to consider our relationship with the landscape.
