Synopsis
Shot on Super 8 film on location in the traditional Amis territory, The Spirit Keepers of Makuta’ay travels through villages on the east coast of Taiwan, where nature, colonization and population migration merge to create a unique spiritual landscape.
A word from Tënk
To wash the glance with dirty images. To be guided by the intuition of the chemistries that develop the film. Where there is always more than the image we are looking at. Where the dream of the filmmaker is not persuasive, but metaphorical. As in this lunar cave, where the Amis tribe, discover themselves as our "friend". As in a dream, where a feeling of beauty is found in an imperfect world.
