Orchi(D)ad

Orchi(D)ad, as the name suggests, is about “orchid”, about “father” or “patriarchy”. The film mainly outlines ten films related to the symbol “orchid”, emphasizing the connection and entanglement between “orchid” and multiple themes: sex and lust, myth and colonial imagination, collective history, and personal memory, etc. The film quietly shuttles between truth and lies in the form of “storytelling”, attempting to capture the hidden desires and constraints of the encounters in their hearts like mimic orchids.
