The 6th ifva Awards - Grand Prize, Open Category Gold Award and Best Script
The word “director” is becoming more prestigious and romanticized. Knowing that someone has made some sort of movies, we would like to greet him/ her “Director!” or ask “When can I star in your movie?”… It is pretty fun indeed. However, if taking it seriously, why do I make movies (create)?
I believe good art is such that after it is “penetrated through” (It is “penetrated through” but not “separated from”) all the artistic judgment, something good remains.
What is the thing that remains?
Goodness.
In Chinese, the word “goodness” always comes after “truthfulness” and before “beauty”. I would say, “goodness is truthful, it brings along with it the gift, beauty.”
A good movie should make you see the landscape in the midst of life.

It is over between “her” and “him”, and she soon starts over with another “him”. It turns out “he” has another “her”…… It starts, it ends, it starts all over again…… It is not just you and me in a relationship, there is another s/he involved……. So anyone can be the third party.
