Lost on the Branch

The affection between father and son has always been a kind of emotion that is difficult to express. Whether it is father to son or son to father, emotional expressions are mostly interpreted by practical actions rather than words. When the father was a child, the father protected his son, and the son relied on the father. It was the relationship between middle-aged people and children. As the age grew, the son grew up, and the father gradually grew old. The son became rebellious and the father began to weaken. Powerless, became dependent on his son. And life also undergoes a dramatic reincarnation at this time. When the son does not yet fully understand the father, he sometimes thinks that the father is a burden, and if the father suffers from Alzheimer's at this time, he will become like a child.

False Fire: China's Tragic New Standard In State Deception

On January 23, 2001, in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) staged and directed a self-immolation of Falun Gong practitioners to seek success. Through logical reasoning and analysis, the film shows clearly that a government-directed "drama" and self-immolation occurred to resolve a situation in which Jiang Zemin, then leader of the Chinese Communist Party, was "in a difficult position" to suppress Falun Gong. In addition, the film tells the story of how Falun Gong practitioners came out one by one to tell the truth, but were brutally persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party and tortured to death, but they did not give in and insisted on telling people the truth in a peaceful and rational manner. This spirit of perseverance and resilience in spite of life and death shook the audience to their core.

Cut-out

A mutilated and grotesque woman’s body chases after a man. The combination of the photomontage and text represents women’s labor, expressed through uniforms and clothes, and women who were sexually objectified, conveying feminist discourses and disciplines. The chased man never understands the existence or content of the images and texts. The blunt presentation of women’s unheard voices and objectified bodies, and the excessively-visualized images, demand immediate introspection.

Transparent, the World Is.

The portrait of me and my daughters which depicts the relationship between “the personality” and “the world / the society” as of 2018. This is the story about an intense dichotomy inside / outside of me. It goes back and forth between “the personality” and “the world / the society”, my daughters become social / universal existences from personal existences. The definition of “red” extends to “life” and appears as a powerless and religious Daruma doll which loses its arms and legs. “White” and “black” rise above a simple dichotomy and start to possess the concept of “gray”. And the world which is made of a mix of various colors becomes “transparent”. If you keep sticking to “the personality”, it changes to “the world”. This is my destination throughout my creative activities and shows what the world is [FilmFreeway].

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."

Road to Film

My film tells a story of a director trying to make films, describing a freakish and twisted yet "prosperous and flourishing age" of Chinese film industry through the process of protagonist, Chen Feng, looking for investments of his film. It is like a Mobius strip and he is going through dream after dream just like Inception and cannot get out. He knows more about what film actually is than those asshole investors. However, the stay remains at his road to pursuit someone else’s shadow and cannot pursue his dream.
