UCCA Art Film Screening: Documentary Four Springs Screening and Talk

2017.12.30
14:00-17:00

影像艺术交流
Location:  Auditorium
Language:  Film: Guizhou Dushan Dialect (with Chinese and English subtitles) Talk: Chinese only

Director Lu Qingyi’s first documentary feature, Four Springs, took five years to complete. Shot from a first-person perspective, the film captures the everyday lives of the director’s parents in a small rural town. Their personalities, sometimes straightforward, sometimes dramatic, reflect their belief in living unrestrained, naturalistic lives. This “family movie” about an unconventional family will make audiences reflect on their own relatives’ idiosyncrasies. UCCA invites Director Lu Qinyi, writer Deng Anqi, artist Liu Yaohua, and columnist Xu Qinan for a post-screening discussion, during which Director Lu Qinyi will reveal his creative process for the film.
