Invisible Boy (2010)

This film uses imaginary monsters to explore the fears and anxieties of an undocumented Chinese child. It blends fiction with the reality of undocumented immigrants in Manhattan's Chinatown, portraying people often considered "invisible." The story gives a voice to someone without one, while also allowing the protagonist to find a sense of belonging through his fictional persona. High-definition visuals blur the lines between fantasy and reality, documentary and storytelling. Like a modern superhero, the boy’s monsters emerge as he navigates the city, reflecting his paranoia and creating a unique vision of his surroundings.
