This is a hand-drawn animation of living creatures. It is a story about a single cell born at the bottom of the sea, which is reborn and changes its shape as it pursues its destiny.

The film unfolds a young Chinese migrant’s poignant recollection of her love story within an underground troupe against the shifting landscape of Chinese urban queer allies and activism. In her voice-over narration, she reflects on the intimacy, struggles, and sacrifices once shared with a lost lover. As her private memories intertwine with public narratives of resistance, both she and her community navigate secrecy, repression, survival, looming precarity, and displacement under societal pressures, while confronting the personal cost of existing in a world that demands their silence. By its kaleidoscopic assemblages of dramatic re-enactments, interviews, found footage, news archives and psychoanalytically informed representations of consciousness, the film takes an essayistic, and "queering", approach to sexual identity, power, governmentality in contemporary China, where the ongoing ideological tensions between socialism and neoliberalism shape both public culture and private life.

A cinematic journey through the rugged Armenian highlands, Lullaby for the Mountains is a testament to lives lived, lives lost, and a landscape that has stood the test of time. Over 15 vignettes, the film traverses the inner realms of ancient monasteries and mountains, plunging through fire, gravestone and darkness into mysterious depths untold. A silent unnamed man appears and disappears, a lone spectral figure among the rushing waters and bellowing winds. Above ground, animals graze and tree branches bend. Below, frescoes appear in the shadows, their carved faces frozen in stone. In the echoey hollows of this surreal time-space, the line between reality and dreams is far from fixed. A meditation on stillness and mood, the film pursues the limits of our sensory perception, and what may lie beyond the frame.

Revolves around a secret book that contains the unpublished maps and journals of history's most famous author-adventurers.
