Whispers in May — In Conversation with Director Dongnan Chen

Dive deep into the world of documentary filmmaking with acclaimed director Dongnan Chen! ✨

“Documentaries capture life with cameras, allowing stories to loop and be reborn on screens big and small.”

Explore unforgettable narratives from 《偷》, where Dongnan takes us into the lives of three homeless youths nestled in urban corners. 🌆 In 《旷野歌声》, step into a Miao village as community struggles unfold through the lens of a choir. 🎶 With 《春日幻遊》, embark on an adventure that highlights the hopes and challenges of Yi culture from a young girl’s perspective. 🎈

Despite varying themes and characters, the thread of “freedom” weaves through each of Dongnan's films, shedding light on both visible stories and unseen souls.
