The Attitude of Being Subjectively Normative

The Attitude of Being Subjectively Normative

2026 • 7 min • United States
Logline: After a lifetime of doing what everyone expects of him, an ordinary man finally earns the promotion he's always wanted—only to discover that the hardest order to refuse is the one he's been preparing to obey his entire life. The horror in The Attitude of Being Subjectively Normative does not arise from violence, authority, or the final decision at the lever. It arises from recognition. The audience gradually discovers that the psychological mechanisms operating on Danny are neither extraordinary nor fictional, but ordinary features of social life that have likely influenced every viewer to some degree. The final question is therefore not whether Danny pulls the lever, but whether the viewer can recognize the unseen normative forces that have shaped their own attitudes and behavior. At once, they are confronted with a far more unsettling question: Have I adopted the attitude of being subjectively normative?

Out of Line

2026 • 4 min • Taiwan
"Out of Line" is an original musical animation that precisely synchronizes sound and visuals. The story follows a strict geometric band performing a Baroque fugue with precise counterpoint. However, a clumsy-looking member named Ashu keeps breaking the order and becomes a source of disruption. His mistakes destroy the delicate production line, causing the stage to collapse dramatically. At the edge of silence and collapse, the triangle-shaped performers attempt to respond to his errors, unexpectedly creating a new way of playing through dissonant collisions. This sense of acceptance and listening guides the stubborn musicians to let go of the old score. As everyone begins to enjoy a freer rhythm, imperfect fragments eventually come together into a full symphonic jazz piece. They are no longer a band that performs with precision, but a jazz ensemble engaged in truly free dialogue.

"Emotional Catharsis" is an animated short film that depicts the creator’s emotional state during their studies and life in Taiwan.

The story centers on the protagonist moving between a repressive daily life and their inner world. Through dreamlike scenes and imagery, it portrays their journey from loss and self-doubt to learning how to “keep moving forward with pain.” The act of creation itself becomes their most important emotional outlet, as well as a starting point for facing themselves again and attempting to reconnect with others.

When the breaking point is reached, the two personalities struggle intensely within the “core” of the subconscious. A one-eyed rabbit, symbolizing violation and nightmare, emerges. We believe that violation is not only physical contact; sight and words can also cause discomfort, so it is designed as an ominous symbol, using its red eye to amplify this sense of unease to the extreme. In the end, Jin-Yan is completely crushed under the weight of the rabbit, symbolizing her collapse. She becomes part of the consciousness and remains forever within Ying-Qing’s psyche.
