While no specific\nlocation is depicted, the use of coloured tiled patterns and a desert setting\ndepicts a middle eastern reference. The visual medium used is a cross-over\nbetween animation and computer game, which makes an ironic reference to the\nrepeated game-play of senseless war. The symbolic references in this movie are\nintended to raise questions in the viewer\u2019s mind, and remind them that with\nsome empathy and assistance, the human spirit can survive and grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ARCH-RIVAL (2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Director: LIU QIANG<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Country: China<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duration: 05:00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Synopsis: On War with Yourself.
