Self Scratch

About This Movie

Self Scratch is a visually intriguing piece by Chenghua Yang, exploring the complex nature of identity through animation. It creates this almost dreamlike atmosphere, where the protagonist is continuously shifting, reflecting those chaotic feelings we all know too well. The pacing feels meditative yet disorienting, mirroring that struggle of piecing together fragmented selves. The animation style itself is distinctive, using a mix of vibrant colors and abstract forms that really pull you into this emotional journey. It’s a bit like watching thoughts unravel and then reassemble, with a sense of melancholy but also hope. Yang’s ability to blend inner turmoil with outer expressions makes this film stand out in the animation genre.
