ISLE NAVIGATOR

Isle Navigator is an animated series consisting of seven short films from Taiwan, charting a journey that begins at the shore and ends at the mountain’s peak.

Isle Navigator is a fantastical voyage centered around the island. With a “ship that sails through stories” as its core imagery, the project guides audiences through seven distinct space-time coordinates, exploring forgotten yet mystifying myths and anecdotes rooted in the land of Taiwan. Through this journey, viewers experience a profound immersion in Taiwan’s unique spiritual culture and human emotions. To showcase the diversity of Taiwanese animation, the series adopts an anthology format, ensuring that each of the seven stories remains independent while preserving its artistic integrity. The series spans 2D, 3D, and stop-motion animation. These distinct visual styles come together to form a mosaic of the island’s collective memory. All works in the series are presented in Mandarin Chinese.
