Isle Be Back - A Love Letter to Arran is a vignette style of short film that shows the life style and visuals of living on The Isle of Arran, a Scottish island with a tight knit community.
Before the family home in Shalun, Taoyuan, was demolished under the Taoyuan Aerotropolis redevelopment project, the director's mother passed away unexpectedly. Yet in her absence, the family's long-fragile order seemed to stabilize, even appearing strangely "happy." This subtle and difficult truth compels the director to repeatedly return to the old house on the verge of disappearance, insisting on bringing back her father and brothers, who are trying to move on. As the boundaries between filming and being filmed blur, differing attitudes toward farewell gradually emerge, and long-suppressed memories begin to seep through. The director is left asking herself: Is this an attempt to preserve memory, or a way of trapping herself in a cycle of loss from which she cannot find closure.
For me, places are people. Venice, tormented, fascinating, mysterious, is Giulio, his blue eyes, his disappearance, his ghost. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of the time his body was beside mine as we explored the island. Venice reawakens my memories with him and gives him back to me. Knowing that he has changed shape, that he no longer wears a human body, drives me to search for him everywhere. Yet I continue to believe in his desperate freedom, in his choice. The emptiness within me after his departure is a space I fill with what I encounter. I know only one way to combat pain: seek wonder. I will continue to do so, now also for him, now also with him.
