"The 'China' on the Silver Screen is a product projected by filmmakers, parallel to but not identical to reality. In the past thirty years, what changes have occurred among the creators and viewers of Chinese-language independent films? In the context of media globalization, who are the target audiences of independent Chinese-language films, and what is their relationship with the subjects of the camera? How is the constantly changing 'reality' of the Chinese-speaking regions reflected in films? To ensure the camera 'does not lie,' what efforts and compromises must filmmakers make? How do they build a reliable bridge for audiences to enter the 'distant' landscapes and understand the life experiences of 'the other'? As viewers, how should we interpret and deconstruct the 'reality' projected on the screen? This Cilens roundtable discussion will delve beneath the surface of Chinese-language independent cinema, starting from 'truth' to explore the charm and changes of Chinese-language independent films. We welcome more public participation, looking forward to enriching this roundtable discussion from the perspective of the audience of Chinese-language independent films."
