“Mamu” is a short film by Director Aephie Chen who makes her debut with the story of an Indigenous Taiwanese man, Mayaw, bringing up his biracial British daughter, Rina, on his own in London. As Mayaw’s mind fades, he hears the call of Taiwan, leading to a magical reconnection with the help of lullabies and mystical guardians from the Amis people. The lead roles played by Indigenous Amis singer Suming (舒米恩) and his father are an homage to her own heritage and what it means to be a contemporary Taiwanese living between several countries.
