Harga Mahal Yang Dibayar Murah (2022) dir. Razan Wirjosandjojo
“Reinterpreted the daily life of Murah Pranoto, a dancer from Kebumen living with dwarfism, Harga Mahal Yang Dibayar Murah (eng. Cost of a Tiger Skin) explores the memories and experiences of Murah's everyday life, amidst moments from his dreams and performances. I tried to extract my observation in seeing Murah's constant adaptation effort, into a surrealistic first-person experience.” - Razan Wirjosandjojo

Umbilical (2019) dir. Danski Tang
“An animated documentary exploring how my mother’s abusive relationship with my father shaped my own experiences in a boarding school as a child in China. The societal pressures on my mother to hide her abuse and her desire to protect me ultimately created a situation where I was subjected to the same societal pressures. Our shared desires for intimacy, safety, and normalcy have been constantly at odds with the realities that surround us. The parallels between my mother’s experiences and my own are abstracted. Through a conversation as adults, my mother and I learn to understand each other and support one another.” - Danski Tang
