Born in 1988, Taiwan, Wu Chia Yun is an artist and filmmaker based in New York. She received an MA in Visual Communication from the Royal College of Art and an MFA in Motion Picture from the National Taiwan University of Arts. Her works are a mixture of image and have expanded from film to installation and conceptual art. She has applied the technique of film narration, mise-en-scène and cinematic language into the experiments in transmedia and has developed moving images that penetrate different mediums. In addition to the expansion of images, Wu also makes fiction films. She uses characters and plots to narrate the indescribable life stories and discuss the sense of belonging, freedom, and human condition, reflecting the turbulence under the peace and unveiling the unseeable nature of spirits.
Wu's first film has been included in The European Independent Film Channel (France, 2015). Important screenings including Proyector Festival de Videoarte (Spain, 2019, 2022), European Media Art Festival, (Germany, 2020), Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin (France, 2021), London Short Film Festival (UK, 2022) and more.
