Entering into a museum, putting on the audio guide, and the audience is carefully examining a well-known photography of The Woman, The Man and The Boy in front of Louvre in Paris through the looking glass.




Director Statement:

I am Xiangtian Zheng. I spent a summer in Paris in 2015. I enjoyed wandering on streets with no name or strange names and pieced together a montage of feelings. Then, I transformed these feelings through the camera lenses into The Looking Glass while portraying a strong identity of the filmmaker myself. By using the language of film, I related topics such as space and time, performing arts, modern vs contemporary art, perfectionism, lost in translation, realism vs surrealism, and patriotism in this 10-minute experimental film.
