China/NYC Based Filmmaker
ABOUT

Nile Tan is a designer, filmmaker, and researcher whose work interrogates the intersections of technology, materiality, and social structures. With a background in film and design, Tan crafts immersive narratives and installations that critique systems of power, questioning how design mediates control, agency, and resistance. Whether through interactive installations, speculative design, or documentary filmmaking, Tan seeks to reveal hidden infrastructures and provoke new ways of engaging with the world.
“Limitation of Life” balances commentary with a love for the golden era of Hollywood, making for a pretty and moving experience with meaning. With this film acting as the second short from director Renkai Tan, it will be interesting to see how the young talent develops in subsequent productions.
