It is hoped that through Starfish Girl, we would get to see the beautiful experiences and the value of life of a unique individual. One should never be labelled, as the labels tend to blur one’s true nature. Gradually stripping off the labels attached to the protagonist, Starfish Girl shows the audience the process of understanding a person from a fresh point of view.
Every creation is a result of a journey of awakening in mind and body.
The story of a family is often incomprehensible to the others.
Starfish Girl also reflects the author’s mind, and by exchanging the inner characters with the protagonist, the author reveals more secrets hidden deep in their hearts. The director has no intention to conceal her intimate interaction with the protagonist as they both appear in this realist film as participants as well as observers. It reveals the life of a highly sensitive person and how a girl, who was forced to be socialised, try to not only understand but also live in harmony with herself. Moreover, by comparing it with two more widely known documentaries, I Love 080 by Yang Li-chou and Small Talk by Huang Hui-chen, we get to see the intricate and complicate relationships disclosed in the films. Furthermore, the author looks into the cases, in which the filmmakers’ self-awareness is influenced and changed by the reality as well as the protagonists’ frankness revealed in the films during her years’ experience in documentary production.
Starfish Girl is a 20-minute participatory documentary shot in full HD. It was premiered at the 2017 Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival and was selected as the opening film of the 2017 Formosa Festival of International Filmmaker Awards. Furthermore, it will be screened at various international film festivals and social welfare organisations.
