Bliss: Beyond the Edge of Time
Six animation directors draw on the six lines of the I Ching to create distinct shorts rooted in Taiwanese vernacular culture. Blending tradition and futurity, faith and emotion, and science fiction with reality, these intersecting visions spiral toward a cold, fantastical romance in an animated void reminiscent of Black Mirror.
