The Dragon Head Tree

The animated short film, directed by Jackie Wang and showcased at BFI Southbank, London, delves into the theme of how autocratic power can erode a culture's essence, yet leave its spirit unscathed. This thought-provoking piece was featured at prestigious events such as the Encounters Film Festival, MONSTRA Lisbon Animated Film Festival, Cinanima International Animated Film Festival, and the Ottawa International Animation Festival, etc.

The film's experimental music score, which features the ancient 4000-year-old clay flute "Xun", alongside the bass clarinet, guitar, and electronic elements, conjures a mysterious, gritty, and otherworldly soundscape.
