Stories of Jacob
Screenings of the film as part of the online edition of the 22nd FF Millennium Docs Against Gravity, which will take place from May 20 to June 2, 2025.
After a happy childhood in the countryside, Jacob – the filmmaker’s animated alter ego – and his parents move to a Chinese megalopolis. He becomes aware of his ethnicity through the racism he experiences at school. He decides to run away, risking ensuing isolation and solitude. A tender animated composition which evokes the pain of exile.
