Shé (Snake)

Unclassified 18+

Dir. Renee Zhan / 2023 / 15 mins / UK / English, Mandarin / Fantasy, Drama, Horror, Animation / Australian Premiere

A violin student’s competitiveness manifests as grotesque, nightmarish creatures.

Fei is a high-achieving violin student. When fellow violinist Mei joins her school orchestra, Fei sees her as a threat – and it’s not long before her pride slithers and scuttles out of her. Directed by Renee Zhan (Soft Animals, MIFF 2022; O Black Hole!, MIFF 2021), Shé (Snake) dramatises the cost of excellence and success.
