Weekend Plot
Six young urbanites who haven't seen each other for four years spend the weekend together on the banks of the Yangzhe river to escape the hustle and bustle of Beijing city. However, even the solitude of their surroundings cannot stop old tensions from resurfacing between some of the characters. The air becomes especially charged when a friend of the six shows up without invitation. Now married and working as a policeman in a small town near Yangzhe river, the young man pines for Xiaobei, his old high school flame and one of the women in the group. But, the policeman's presence triggers feelings of jealousy in Xiaobei's fiance, leading to a troubling twist at the end.
Lion
A project spanning three years of production and research, Lion is a collection of 7 short films exploring the Chernobyl disaster, the nature of radiation, memory, and personal history. Conceptually arranged in to a film “album”, Lion’s seven works navigate atomic fallout and a girl’s adolescence, a dream before death, radiation as a cause and cure for cancer, masculine bravado, feminine obsession, a trip to Chernobyl amongst the death of a matriarch, and the destruction of memory. Composed of seven works, Lion is a series of films created on 16mm and hand processed with darkroom techniques that mimic the effects of radiation on film. Researched in Chernobyl, the series is a product of memories, history, pop culture and technical experiments to create visual representations of invisible forces.
