Last night, an earthquake occurred in Hualien. Lots of tourists China have been buried. Today is the day when the earthquake hit the Tainan two years ago. The night that the earthquake has shaken the whole land is not easily forgotten. Mother, do you remember the earthquake in Nantou? I might be in your womb then. I hope buried people would rescue safely. Last fall, I have met a man from South Korea. He has come to Tainan to attend the film festival. After he left, I received a letter. He asked me visiting Kinmen with him, in September.

《海峽》是一部很有趣的影片，導演透過台灣與中國的兩岸關係來思考南北韓之間所謂的「和平」，他選擇了金門這個定位尷尬的島嶼來進行一連串的辯證，迂迴的敘事手法，唯美的影像語言，是一部充滿個人風格作品，相當值得一看。
EP.28 釜山歐巴的奇幻旅程〡專訪《海峽》導演吳敏旭、製片-蕭凱慈
南方影展藝術總監．黃柏喬〡35min〡21 OCT 2020
由南韓導演--吳敏旭、台灣製片—蕭凱慈共同完成的《海峽》，以分隔兩地的母女信件為引，穿梭於亞洲六處城市，尋訪地緣政治下的戰爭故事。導演將分享拍片契機，他如何從電影認識台灣，台灣的風景又帶給他哪些感動？
「普渡場景都是在金門拍的，韓國幾乎沒有這樣的習俗了。去到那邊的時候，發現裡頭有兩到三個世界：人跟人、死人跟死人、死人跟活人，同時存在於街道上的風景 ...」--吳敏旭
