Between The Walls
Short Documentary | 2017 | China
Overview
I made this film as part of the Looking China Youth Film Project held in China. Filmmakers from all over the world are invited to make films on themes related to the Chinese culture. I was a representative from India for National Institute of Design this year along with my colleague. The film is about the builders of historic buildings in Fujian province in China.
Synopsis
A living space is built with a lot of efforts. It needs skill, precision, patience and a lot of hard work. But most of all it needs life. The people it inhabits and the stories it holds make it a possessor of invaluable culture and traditions. This film is about these stories and what goes into making them. The film explores the living and building of the great Chinese historical structures through portraits of its inhabitants, observations of its builders and an unknown relationship that they share with each other.
