Synopsis
By tracing emotions in reverse, this film uses the filmmaker’s original family in Chongqing as a starting point to get involved in the weaving of local social network, and uses community life practice in Guangzhou to interact and stimulate heterogeneous experiences, in order to explore how people across different contexts can transcend the limitations of identity politics while building on individual experiences, thereby achieving a more barrier-free way to perceive and promote each other.
Director biography
Wan Qing (b.1993, Chongqing) graduated from Sun Yat-sen University with a degree in journalism in 2015. She currently works and lives in Guangzhou and Chongqing. She is interested in transforming her own experience and stirring up the air. In addition to being a video worker and a healer, she is also a member of "Theatre 44" and "Energy Waving Collective", the initiator of "limilink" and the caretaker of Qiantai-osf. Life, creation, and collective practice, these three interactive mechanisms with reality inspire and shape each other through her body field, continuously nurturing a composite and subtle landform.
Director's statement
Under the pressure of political depression (confusion and hardship) and community trauma (collapse of faith), I retreated to the once despised position - life, and re-explored the way and state of getting along and communicating with people of different backgrounds and values, and learned from nature the mechanism of interaction. I want to interact with the world in a different language was the motivation for creating it.
