Chinese experimental film includes many “video art” works shown in places like art galleries. The three films selected for this program break from this mould in being highly narrative. Interestingly, a sensibility similar to that of Japanese independent films can be seen in works like 『THERE IS NO MEMORIES LEFT, I RECORD EVERYTHING』, a surreal conversation drama that proceeds with the odd rhythm of two young people. 『BUTTER LAMP』, a short film that has received acclaim at international film festivals such as the Cannes International Film Festival Critic’s Week, depicts the situation in Tibet with a witty setting. Curator: Zhang Yaxuan (Chinese Independent Film Archive).
