YANG Pingdao
감독
In the past, each family would have its own family tree, as proof of its procreation and inheritance. Today, the power of images to record my family more directly led me to want to use images to create a family tree for my family, so that my grandchildren can see the faces and faces of my grandparents, the people who have been the closest to me in my life. That’s one thing.Moreover, although I am concerned about the family and people, I am also concerned about the “changing Chinese society”. In just a few decades, China has undergone tremendous changes, so that the current living conditions of a family can have such a big difference.This is a documentary of prose poetry. It will not be sharply critical, nor will it define something or someone definitively. Its camera will be a faithful chronicler; Its lens will have the broad mind of people, to tolerate all narrow and even moral intolerance of personnel; Its lens should calmly listen to the elderly about life and death, about the trivial family; Its lens shall gaze upon the dull life; Its lens exudes a bleak and tender life, a light poetry!It has no grand narrative ambitions, but it is also an epic!
