Curated by Jaxton Su and Nien-Ting Chen, The Unsettled Dust - Asian Short Film Festival features short films that narrate first-person accounts of different personal, regional and cultural phenomena occurring within Asian life, whilst presenting the social mentality that has been engendered by modernisation and rapid economic development. The film festival gathers works from diverse parts of Asia. While presenting a diversified discussion of the various simplified interpretations and representations of the living situations and experiences, social issues as well as hidden mentalities of different localities in Asia, the film festival aims to portray an honest and multifaceted perspective of Asian contemporary life that brings to the fore the daily lives of commoners under the influences of globalisation and westernisation.
