Trees Stay With Andrea(树根安德莉亚在一起)

This 10-minute film features a story between a girl and a tree. By using experimental visual and audio elements, this film links a personal story of loss into a bigger question of relations between human and non-human and aims to raise awareness of prevailing anthropocentric ideology and imagine a way of of the maze of dualism.
The idea of this docu-narrative short was originated from my own depression experience of being stuck in Kathmandu(Nepal) in 2020 during the pandemic. I was stuck in a garret room for five months. I felt depressed, anxious, and detached from the outside world.

When I returned back to China, I was trying to make this film to explore the deeper level of emotional pains . I interviewed dozes of people who was diagnosed as depression or ADHD. This short talks about the complexity of our existence and traumas, with a narrowed scope on the connection and gaze between self and the other. This film chooses the form of documentary-drama and improvisation, to explore the "truth" within the film camera. After a whole year's effort and thanks to our doners, the film finally was rendered in the end of 2021.
