Tsai Ming-liang’s “Dust,” identified as a Venice and San Sebastian title, continues the director’s “Walker” series with another rigorously slow passage led by its central figure: a barefoot monk in a red robe.
The film is the 11th installment in Tsai’s “Walker” project. In the material described, the Walker moves through San Sebastian, crossing the length of La Concha, stopping beneath the concrete rooms of Chillida Leku and standing before the forceful seafront presence of the Peine del Viento.
Those images place “Dust” firmly within the visual language suggested by the series’ premise: a figure defined by deliberate movement, patience and duration. The headline framing also connects the film to Tsai’s ideas around slowness as a form of rebellion, while pointing to Lee Kang-sheng as part of the broader conversation around the project.
Although further details about the film’s full structure, release plans or festival positioning are not included in the available material, the confirmed description presents “Dust” as a continuation of Tsai’s long-running exploration of the Walker figure, now set against prominent San Sebastian locations.
What Happens Next?
The available information identifies “Dust” as connected to Venice and San Sebastian, but does not provide additional confirmed dates, screening details or distribution plans. For now, the key development is the film’s arrival as the 11th chapter in Tsai Ming-liang’s “Walker” series, with San Sebastian’s landscape serving as its visible stage.
