“Lakec” means “to cross a river” in the Amis language. “Lakec - A Very Simple River” (2020 Version) is the latest film about the Peninsular Malaysia by the Amis filmmaker Posak Jodian and facilitated by the Malaysian artist Jeffrey Lim – after their first collaboration in 2018, the filming of the Taiwanese tribes of Fata’an, Orchid Island (Lanyu) and Xiaobitan in “Kanta Portraits: Taiwan”. They visited the towns and forests across the Peninsula, or even the offshore island tribes in 2019, to “portray” the life experiences and oral traditions as a collective and pluralistic entirety (which we should feel akin to) through the lens of an indigenous Taiwanese director.
