Chinese Independent Documentary :
CIDFA009:
SNIPPETS
Directors: Yan Junjie
Length: 84min
Production Year: 2005
Synopsis:
This film takes footage of my band, friends, college, home, romance and personal life from 2001-2005. I took these to make an experiment: to use documentary to find an answer to life, or to use one’s own life to search for documentary. This is how Snippets was born.
This can’t be called a documentary in the strictest sense. What is a true documentary anyway? I’ll leave that question for the adults to research.
As my graduation piece, I finally finished a piece on “using film to search for the self”.
