Searching for Orchids - Trailer

2026 | 35Mins Synopsis Some people speak of landscape as the earliest expression in shaping culture. Here, preserving plants is about reserving cultural identity. In the forests of Taiwan, a man searches for endangered orchids, as a filmmaker searches for belonging. Her family name “Lan”, (Orchid in Mandarin), turns this search into both an exploration of preservation and finding belonging on disputed land.
