Directed by Shuli Huang | 20 mins | 2022
Winner of the Queer Palm at Cannes 2022, Shuli Huang’s evocative Super 8 confessional tracks the queer filmmaker’s return to his hometown of Beijing and the ensuing conversation with his mother, long disapproving of her son’s sexuality and his pursuit of a non-traditional career in the arts. An ethereal glimpse of the city and a tender exploration of acceptance—both for parents and children—conveyed with warmth and stylistic beauty.
