(THIS FILM WAS PART OF OUR 2025 FESTIVAL LINEUP AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON THE SLAMDANCE CHANNEL) An experimental narrative film about the sexual awakening of Ming, a 15-year-old girl, at an adult film screening in 1980’s Taiwan. Ming playfully explores her exhibitionist fantasies. Her off-stage sexual maturation merges with the spectacular reveries onscreen. This film is my homage to Edward Yang's A Brighter Summer Day (1991) and Chia-Yun Yang's The Lady Avengers (1981).
