synopsis

Anong is one of the many Laotians who have left their homeland.
In early 2025, I accompanied him on a trip back home. He took me around to see different places and we visited his family.
Before long, we found ourselves leaving again.

director's statement

I haven’t written scripts for quite a long time. But I have not stopped making films. Rizi, Ni de lian, and Liang ye bu neng liu were all created without scripts. It’s clear that I’ve been working to break away from the many constraints of the film industry, moving toward greater freedom in developing my own kind of cinema. I call it “Handsculpted Cinema”. Hui Jia was made with a small Canon camcorder and a Leica camera. It was just me, Anong, and one of his friends — we spent over two weeks filming in the rural areas of Laos. The editing was done by my collaborator in Taipei, Jhong-yuan Chang. I was truly excited to have made this work.
