Why this film matters

A pet fish’s viewpoint places a familiar human subject—love and loss—inside a restricted field of perception. The official still keeps the bowl sharply visible while human life continues behind it. That relationship between a small observer and the surrounding household is a specific formal choice, not a claim that a festival result proves artistic quality.

The original organiser identifies both the narrative premise and Yingjie Chen; the current official results confirm Jury Selection. The film is included as a verified exhibited work with credited real artwork, rather than delayed for undisclosed optional production details. It is marked Released, with the result page serving as information rather than a promised full-film stream. This introduction is based on programme and release sources, not complete viewing.
