Sun Xun in the 70th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen

Sun Xun's Being is Negative at the 70th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen

The short animation "illusion" attempts to express the world view of Buddhism. Buddhism is not spiritualism as commonly understood by people. In fact, Buddhism emphasizes illusion. All things that can be perceived and thought in the world are illusions, and only the self nature is the real noumenon. The concept of "five aggregates", "whirling fire wheel" and "the truth" in the Buddhist classics are borrowed to discuss the eternal topic of "reality" repeatedly. The thinking on this point is also inspired by the western philosopher Heidegger's Being and Jung's Being is Negation philosophical propositions.
