Fluffy Ball
Ning Qian
Chinese mainland
Story
Little blue pieces of fluff fall off from a fuzzy sweater. A girl cannot get rid of them, they’re spreading across her body like an epidemic. Metaphorical story from the age of Covid.
Comment
Although the pandemic has gradually passed, some traces still remain on our bodies — like insects clinging to the skin. This short film captures a certain state of mind from that time. Looking at it now, it feels organic — an emotional state that can no longer be revisited. Thank you to Nikon for recognizing this work. I look forward to creating more vibrant, life-filled films with Nikon in the future.
