Until We Meet

No matter how quickly or far the times move forward, some people and some events will always be remembered by someone. June Fourth has yet to be redressed, rights activists have disappeared, and justice for indigenous peoples remains convoluted and slow. All these injustices bring sorrow. Yet, they refuse to give up; they keep thinking, acting, connecting with like-minded people, and creating alternative spaces in the land where they live. A one-party wall stands before them, making each step difficult; even with party alternation, nothing is guaranteed. They all know this. In these dark times, they join hands and move forward together, often very slowly, very slowly. Perhaps, one day, they will meet each other.

Many Undulating Things

The film begins and ends in a shopping centre in Hong Kong. We carefully observe the smooth movement of the escalators, the constant flow of people that never stops, the musical fountain that presides over the centre of the internal courtyard, as if this gigantic complex could concentrate the circulation of the entire city, or even, the entire country. From there, it will be more a tale about concrete, enormous port warehouses, glazed galleries built for the 2010 universal exhibition, overpopulated tower blocks, the fragments of still recent colonialism...

In 1974, John Thompson, an American, went to Taiwan, then Hong Kong, to study Chinese and the ancient silk string guqin (7- string zither). After 45 years he plays on, still inspired by the beauty of the music and by the culture that produced it. And In 2010 he was the only non-Chinese among 14 masters the Zhejiang Museum had invited to play in a concert featuring guqins from the Tang dynasty over 1000 years ago. With an indepth interest and insight in both Western and Chinese classical music, John Thompson and his musical journey is an embodiment of East-West cultural exchanges and mutual appreciation.
