The Observer

Independent animated short film by Haoyue Xu / 2023

On a moist autumn evening, a girl with a hat pedaled her bicycle onto a seldom-trodden path. In an instant, she glanced upwards, her eyes locking onto a utility pole adorned with an array of surveillance cameras. Capturing an image of this pole, little did she realize that she too was under the scrutiny of countless lenses. And so, she ventured into a realm of fantasy, poised to embark on an epic struggle against the unrelenting gaze of these silent sentinels.
