What about China?

2020 · 135 min

A slow, essayistic drift through landscapes and voices that asks you to sit with images and think rather than follow a story.

Directed by: Trịnh T. Minh-hà
Genres: Documentary
Starring: Xiaolu Guo, Xiao Yue Shan, Yi Zhong

Overview: The film takes the notion of harmony in China as a site of creative manifestation, and draws from footage shot in 1993 and 1994, in Eastern and Southern China, specifically from provinces Anhui, Hubei, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangxi—linked to the remote origins of Chinese civilisation.
