A Foreigner, I Came, A Foreigner, I Leave. backdrop

A Foreigner, I Came, A Foreigner, I Leave. 2025 Directed by Waitan Chan Étrangère, je suis venue, étrangère, je repars.

This film is based on a text the director wrote, drawn from her own experience of living in China, Hong Kong, and Paris. The film explores imprisonment, walls (both tangible and those in our minds), people in exile, and the sharing of nightmares. "One can never escape the walls that confine us: those outside want to enter, those inside want to leave." She attempts to convey this feeling through recurring patterns and non-linear storytelling.
