Prismatic Ground Opening Night
Parallel sets of (ill) fated lovers criss-cross Taipei in Ka Ki Wong’s playful feature debut, Prismatic Ground's opening night selection for 2026. Tao is infatuated with Shin, but can only express this affection by sending roving gangs to beat him up in public. Meanwhile, Melih, a Turkish immigrant who owns a noodle shop, receives an enigmatic, possibly omniscient flower from Yu-Ping, whom he falls hopelessly for. Connected in inexplicable ways, Melih and Tao search within and without for the ability to forge meaningful memories and relationships, leading them to wonder, “Is there a way to leave a mark without causing pain?”
Prismatic Ground Opening NightFollowed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.
