Welcome
Rikun Zhu / China / 2016 / East European Premiere / 62 min.
synopsis
The spoken word plays the main role in this investigative documentary. While the screen remains black, we listen to a conversation between officials and filmmakers who want to shoot a film about lung disease in Sichuan. The audio record exposes the typical strategy of censorship, progressing from false affability to the point of open threats.biography
Director and producer Zhu Rikun (1976) is one of the most important figures on the Chinese independent film scene. His previous films, such as The Dossier (2014), have focused on criticizing China’s repressive regime.
