My Village in 2008 (Wang Wei)
Wang Wei | 2009 | 75min. | English subtitles
Filmmaker’s words:
Is film an extension of life? Maybe not. On any normal day, if I’m not too busy and in a decent mood, I’ll pick up my video camera and take it for a spin. I’ll capture some everyday people doing everyday things. I see this stuff every day and the only difference is that today I have my camera in my hand, and maybe a little bit of dream in my heart. Filming is just a piece of my life. My neighbors, they still have their lives.
I don’t remember too far back, but in these last thirty years our village hasn’t changed much. Maybe it’s because my memory is faulty, who knows. But if I could film for another thirty years, then maybe we could know for sure whether there are changes and see how they came about. This 2008 film is just one of those years.
