Filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang has introduced his latest work, ‘Dust’ (Weichen/La deriva), as part of his ‘Walker’ series. The film was initially presented at the Venice Film Festival within the Venice Open – Non-fiction section, featuring actor Lee Kang-sheng as a monk walking through San Sebastián, Spain.

Following the Venice presentation, Tsai expanded his presence in San Sebastián through a dedicated exhibition at the Tabakalera center. This exhibition, titled ‘Walker’, runs until December 6 and is part of the Zabaltegi-Tabakalera section of the San Sebastián Film Festival. The exhibition showcases three audiovisual pieces—‘No Form’ (2012), ‘Walker’ (2012), and ‘Journey to the West’ (2014)—to explore the director’s cinematic focus on extreme slowness and contemplation.

At the 74th San Sebastián International Film Festival, ‘Dust’ was presented within the Zabaltegi-Tabakalera section. As the eleventh installment in ‘The Walker’ series, the film depicts Lee Kang-sheng as a Buddhist monk moving through urban spaces at a slow, meditative pace. The work lacks traditional dialogue or conflict, focusing instead on the visual interaction between the monk and the city. In this piece, the monk’s presence acts as a disruptive element to the rhythm of modern urban life, prompting various reactions from passersby.
