After All
Chongyan Liu's 25' autofiction was made at, and produced by, Le Fresnoy, the French national studio of contemporary art. Octopoid boarded the film and Gerard Tierney served as co-producer. The film - a response to a real-life tragedy - is at one moment starkly painful, at the next cool and restrained. The film featured in Le Fresnoy's 'Panorama' showcase and began to appear in Festivals, starting with a World Premiere at Seoul Pride in their 'Asia Pride' section. The film's entry in the British Council's Film Directory:​
