In the year before my birth (1986), a Taiwanese film "Dust in the Wind" was released. Following that, the new wave of Taiwanese cinema emerged in sync with the changing times. Although these events did not directly impact my sensory experiences, the life journey of the protagonist "A Yuan" from the film gradually intertwined with my own life, becoming inseparable from it."I Remember, I Remember" unfolds within a space metaphorically representative of a cinema, a nation, or a country. Through the medium of essay film, it delves into how a film constructs a social landscape through details. It explores how, within this space, the audience actively links their life experiences to it, enabling the film to recall nonexistent memories and construct an imaginative collective identity.

As an audience of movie, there are times when I experience a sense of illusion, questioning whether a certain memory truly happened or if it's merely a scene from a movie. A movie that can evoke such doubt is undoubtedly deserving of the highest praise, and for me, "Dust in the Wind" possesses such magic.The spirit of the New Taiwan Cinema has remained unchanged over the years, but the way it is perceived has changed over time. While we are eager to use it as a tool to challenge authoritarian memories, we are also enveloped in its decades-long glorified interpretations. Will such results further unite us or shape us into a homogenous group? I hope to find the answer in the making of this film.
