UFO Sketch

This film introduces Professor MAENG Sunglyul at Woosuk University, the author of UFO Syndrome and a scientist researching into unidentified flying objects. That he is criticized for seeking enjoyment in challenging times reveals the ambivalent gaze of the public towards his study of UFOs. As an explorer of the unknown, he doubts the existence of UFOs, while at the same time considering uncharted or undiscovered territories beyond those defined by mainstream science. In the same vein, the film makes no attempt to draw quick conclusions about UFOs. Rather, it calmly conveys moments of communion between scientific approaches and people’s curiosity of the unknown. Now, it’s time to draw a sketch of UFOs.

The Day Is Over

‘Where have all the parents gone?’ This haunting film from southern China seems to paraphrase Pete Seeger's famous anti-war song about missing flowers. Three young teenage girls − and one silent little sister who faithfully tags along − are in a small mountain village that would be considered a paradise if it wasn’t so poor, backward and unsafe. Most parents are far away in Shenzhen, or some other industrious metropolis. Left to their own devices, to the care of some unfit teacher or ageing grandparent, they are fighting off bullying classmates, sticking together where possible. The girls have to navigate unknown dangers when they decide to borrow money to pay for the long voyage to the city.

Young Masters: Bajiquan

Young Masters is an original series commissioned by NOWNESS China focusing on traditional Chinese cultures, and how they continue to be defined by a new generation of the country's youth. Its first episode, Young Masters: Bajiquan, spotlights Wu Hao (吴昊), a young man in his twenties from Hebei province who is a stalwart practitioner of Bajiquan—a traditional Chinese fighting style known for its graceful stillness and sudden moments of targeted and ferocious violence. Director Haonan Shen traveled to the Mengcun Bajiquan International Training Center to profile Wu Hao whose paternal ancestor Wu Zhong (1712–1802) was the first recorded Bajiquan teacher. In this evocative portrait of a young man’s passion for sharing his family’s rich heritage, we get up close and personal with the violent elbow strikes, staff jabs, fierce rising and firm falling stances that characterize the martial art.
