[Yi-Shan Lo, Director]
I want to create a journey from trauma to reconciliation. It resonates not only with themes of gender, education, and nature but also serves as a testament to the resilience of life, and the realization that life is not just about surviving, but about truly living and loving.
Yi-Shan Lo is an independent filmmaker and writer. Since her teenage years, she has been fascinated by the intertwined relationships connecting humans and non-humans in the Taiwanese subtropical mountains. After the Snowmelt is her debut documentary feature.
