Join us on e-flux Video & Film for an online screening of Rina B. Tsou’s The Horrible Thirty: Me, My Father and Richard the Tiger (2018), presented as part of our special feature of Images Festival 2021, and among the six films picked by the festival programmers for e-flux audiences.
As she nears the age of thirty, Rina tries to find, with some difficulty, a path to becoming a film director. This year, her father, Richard, whom she misses dearly, sends his Chinese zodiac sign, the tiger, to silently listen and follow his daughter through her unsteady sounds of life. Through the medium of film, we distantly imagine what the world was like in the 1950s, when he himself was thirty.
