Retaliation
The film replicates one of the 7cm Mountain Gun which were used during Japan's 'Pacification' campaign against Indigenous peoples. During this trip, Kao invites Atayal youth to return to the original mountain location shelled by Japanese police in 1906. They fire towards a distant hotel, now located on the site of a village once occupied by the Japanese. With a tone of playfulness and irony, the film subverts colonial aggression while exploring the possibilities of artistic action.
