10 Seconds
Ten seconds can reshape a world forever. At the epicenter of Taiwan’s 1999 Jiji earthquake, lives split between those who ran, those who prayed, and those who never woke again. Rendered in monochromatic ink and oil textures, this animated documentary reconstructs the director’s own family records. When the earth finally stills, how do we piece back a fractured city through strokes of black and white? It is a silent meditation on fear, fragility, and the enduring warmth of memory.
