Amoeba
This Unreleased Gem is available exclusively on Video Store, for a limited time only.
WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS YOU, BUILD YOUR OWN.
In a repressive city-state, a tomboy schoolgirl persuades three classmates at an all-girls school to rebel by forming a triad gang.
Boldly expressive, queer, and very touching, “Amoeba”—a title Tan attributes to her own withdrawn, shapeless self-image as a teenager—will make you wish you too could join the elite girl gang its characters seize their empowerment through. Director Siyou Tan's debut is sweeping the festival circuit, picking up Best Actress, Youth Jury Award and Cinephilia Critics' Award at Pingyao and the FIPRESCI Prize at the Taipei Golden Horse.
Languages: English and Mandarin. English subtitles available. Closed captions not available.
