Still Life

In the dream I had one early morning in 2014, I was sitting in the backseat of a car. The driver suddenly turned to look at me and said: Why aren’t you filming? It was my second elder sister who had already passed away. After her death, I began to keep a diary and take pictures. When I got a video camera, I began to film the daily life of my family. I filmed out of the fear of death and loss. The idea was to capture everything on film before it disappeared. 2015 was the 20th anniversary of my sister’s death. That dream seemed to tell me to face her death. Death did not stop the passing of time, and the family members I was filming continued to avoid their grief which hadn’t subsided with time. Birth and death continue to alternate in our lives, and we are always getting ready for the day when we must say goodbye.

Shanghai Rainbow

Gloomy corners, occasional joys, undisclosed affections, wordless secrets. These are not of rainbow Shanghai. Under the guide of Ray, an American gay man teaching in Shanghai, let’s walk into the universe of his friends, and take a glance of Shanghai’s homo-life. At home, as well as in restaurants, gymnasiums, night clubs, NGOs, these people supposedly living under shadows, should lead such a life of ease? The graceful dancer in the night club works as a cashier in the supermarket at daytime; the strong boy playing volleyball regrets his poor performance; a volunteer of forty somethings tries hard to persuade those of his breed – fancying boys instead of girls – not to choose an involuntary road of cheating marriage; not to mention that flock of youth celebrating new year’s eve, singing, dancing, reciting, freely under the doubtful eyes of waiters.

A retired lieutenant colonel picked up a stick and began his pursuit-glory and embarrassment, toughness and helplessness, their lives need no comment, their The story is worth remembering.

Piano Dream

Yin Hong and her husband were born in the 50's. The Cultural Revolution dramatically impacted their youth; there was no place for any artistic expression. Yet they loved music and they have a gifted son, Lu Nan, who today is 15 year's old. "Piano Dream" is a story about parents investing everything they have for their only child's success. It is a dream journey binding two generations. The film brings attention to a woman's choice and fate, probing the impact of her dream on her son's maturation and their relationship. It shows the son's bitterness to a point where one asks oneself if the mother's dream is not becoming her son's nightmare. Filmed over a period of nearly three years, this documentary keeps faithful to real life, but maintains a poetic feel.

Geobelief: Lord of the Soil

Director Xiong Zaixia notes: "A 'she' (commune) is the smallest administrative unit since the Tang Dynasty. She Gong is also known as Soil-Ground or Lord of the Soil. I have found that I captured and edited Soil-Grounds in my video works unconsciously. That made me recall something. So I returned to my hometown Shunde, Guangdong several times to shoot and record over 60 Lords of the Soil in Lunjiao Town’s eastern and western villages. I want to explore how such a traditional Chinese folk belief roots geographically, becomes embedded in one’s memory, and shapes a population’s behavior."
