In a campus interwoven with light and shadow, a hidden dark side lies beneath what we can see. Facing the hands of a predatory teacher that repeatedly and deliberately intrude, Ying-Qing, in extreme fear, subconsciously splits into another personality—Jin-Yan. She is Ying-Qing’s final line of defense, bearing alone the suffocating, disgusting moments that occur every time the office curtains are drawn. However, trauma is like a parasite. When the breaking point is reached, the two personalities struggle intensely within the “core” of the subconscious. A one-eyed rabbit, symbolizing violation and nightmare, emerges. We believe that violation is not only physical contact; sight and words can also cause discomfort, so it is designed as an ominous symbol, using its red eye to amplify this sense of unease to the extreme. In the end, Jin-Yan is completely crushed under the weight of the rabbit, symbolizing her collapse. She becomes part of the consciousness and remains forever within Ying-Qing’s psyche.

As he becomes more addicted, in order to obtain more of the potion, he begins to gradually sell off his possessions, and even his organs are not spared.

The protagonist, Akin, is a man who never hesitates to spend money. To him, money is an all-powerful key—it can buy luxurious food, dazzling clothing, and even friends and a lively atmosphere around him. He can easily solve life’s problems with cash; even a puddle on the road can be “resolved” with money. Akin believes that as long as he has money, he can control everything. However, behind this seemingly smooth life, time is quietly passing. Akin becomes addicted to the sense of control brought by money, yet fails to realize that his youth is also being gradually consumed. In the end, he sits alone on a magnificent throne, surrounded by emptiness, with only his aging body and the Grim Reaper making one final, futile “transaction.” At the final moment of his life, Akin tries to use money to buy back his past years, but no amount of wealth can reclaim lost time. Only then does he realize that what cannot be controlled is not wealth, but time itself.

Just as her phone suddenly runs out of battery, a mysterious delivery driver knocks on her door and says: “Good evening, miss. We have noticed the envy and desire in your eyes—dreams that cannot be realized in reality. Therefore, the ‘Dream Restaurant’ has sent me.” Before she can react, she is taken away from reality inside an insulated delivery bag by the courier and falls into an unknown alternate space. In this strange world, tasting different desserts allows her to experience completely different lives. As she moves through countless fragmented scenes, she gradually comes to understand the value of an ordinary reality—yet she also discovers that every dream comes with a hidden price.

The animation depicts a well-known restaurant that serves mysterious cuisine. Its reputation spreads through the streets, attracting people from all over the world. Without understanding the situation, the protagonist blindly follows the crowd to the restaurant. Wanting to fit in, he changes the way he dresses. However, after noticing that something is wrong with the restaurant, he becomes the target of everyone inside. Unable to withstand the pressure of the crowd, the protagonist denies himself in exchange for a sense of safety and belonging. For example, he ignores the foul smell of rotten meat, gradually becomes alienated into a fly, and willingly eats the rotten food. This betrayal of reality becomes the root of fear. Through this animation, we hope to encourage audiences to value independent thinking and the courage to question, prompting society to reflect on the importance of individual value and independence.

The protagonist, Xiao-En, is a second-generation Indonesian immigrant who grows up caught between prejudice and conflict. A speech contest leads him into the untold story of his mother, who has the identity of a new immigrant, and in the end, he comes to terms with his own identity. The work uses the ingredients of Indonesian curry to carry the characters’ identities. Curry powder represents the Indonesian memories of Xiao-En and his mother, cinnamon powder represents the strict teacher, and pepper represents the other people around them. The colors of the plate shift with the situation, reflecting the emotions of the moment. As the speech gradually unfolds, the audience below the stage has also quietly been stained with the colors of curry, suggesting that by the end of the story, different cultures have in fact already blended together in silence.

This work centers on a hyacinth that accidentally falls and is forced to leave its original environment. It follows the journey of the hyacinth stumbling forward in a city. From initial confusion and fragility to gradually recognizing itself, the hyacinth struggles and grows in an unfamiliar and stressful environment. Along the way, the hyacinth experiences comparison, self-doubt, and survival crises. After going through these challenges and standing up again, it arrives at a fork between an artificial flower field and a natural grassland, where it makes its first choice—not to be placed anymore, but to decide where it wants to go. The work is presented by combining 2D characters with 3D environments. Through the contrast in texture and space between the character and the environment, it emphasizes the character’s isolation and unease in the city, extending into its inner transformation. The visuals and rhythm are shaped through post-production compositing and editing, with music used to build emotional progression, allowing the audience to experience the hyacinth’s changing state of mind from its perspective.

This 6-minute stop-motion animation delivers a haunting exploration of human trafficking, a global crisis inspired by recent real-world events. During the early stages of development, our research into victim psychology—conducted through international interviews and data analysis—revealed that the wealth gap is often the primary catalyst for such tragedies. This led us to reimagine the classic fairy tale, The Little Match Girl, as a modern allegory. The story follows a protagonist driven by poverty who is lured into a factory by illusions. Through symbolic depictions of exploitation and trade, the film portrays the victim's transformation into a commodity, serving as a chilling metaphor for the relentless cycle of human trafficking.

"Dear, All Robots'' is a 2D and 3D animated short film that tells a story about rediscovering passion and the self. The protagonist is an office worker who lives a repetitive and monotonous life every day, gradually forgetting his childhood love for photography. One day, he meets a colorful cat, which brings color and vitality into his life and reawakens his creativity and passion. Through his interactions with the cat, he rediscovers his childhood dream and happiness, and once again feels the warmth and freedom of life. Through the contrast between black-and-white and vivid colors, as well as the combination of 2D and 3D, the work presents the protagonist’s process of moving from numbness to self-rebirth. The work also echoes the spirit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 3, “Good Health and Well-being,” and SDG 8, “Decent Work and Economic Growth.” It reflects on the impact of the working environment on people’s physical and mental states, and encourages audiences to rethink the relationship between work and dreams: while pursuing efficiency and economic growth, can people still preserve their dignity, creativity, and passion for life?

A dreamlike opening, with scenes alternating between light and shadow. It is the beginning, the ending, and also the core of the entire film. At first, the whole world contains only the protagonist as a child and the small flower in his hand. The flower corresponds to the tree. After growing up, he controls the world: the falling leaves returning to the treetop, more trees growing, and the sun appearing. As the world becomes more and more complex, the protagonist can no longer bear it. He stumbles during a dance step and turns his head away from the dazzling light. After the world collapses, everything returns to the same simplicity as the beginning. The shadow returns to the light source. The protagonist grasps the final light, and when he opens his hand, there is the same flower he held as a child. After growing up, there are many identities and different problems to face, but the self still remains in childhood. This film records the first time of facing a complex and collapsing self after growing up. It is a longing for and pursuit of simplicity.

The animation tells the story of a pair of siblings, leading the audience to experience an ordinary day with them, while this day gradually evolves into a series of unexpected events.
