1, Girl of Wind
Time: 39 mins
This is a story about a lonely deaf girl, Yang Yang, who often climbs with her bare hands on top of 500 meters tall buildings in the city. By chance, the director, Nanhsi Yuen, meets her and the two people's lives begin to intertwine. The director herself began an examination of her own life during the continuous shooting.In the film, Yang Yang and the director form parallel characters, one real and one imaginary, in which the dialogue is both about each other and about themselves. This is the rambling of the two young people in the five years of their lives, which is a dense weave of the contemporary youth's difficulties and longings for life, ideals and the future.
2, Altay Wild Snow
Time：28 mins
Five friends who love off-piste skiing adventures embarked on a journey to find the best off-piste skiing spot in China. They arrived in Altay, Xinjiang, known as the earliest origin of human skiing, and teamed up with the Tuvans who uphold the tradition of ancient fur skis. Together, they attempted to climb the highest peak in the area and ski down the mountain. It was a 10,000-year-old tradition of fur-covered wooden skis, a 5,000-kilometer trek through the northwest, a 500-kilometer journey along icy mountain roads on the border, and a 2,000-meter vertical drop down the snowy mountains. They spent 14 days and nights galloping through the snowy forests.
