Thanks to everyone who came out to tonight's screening, and especially to Mila Zuo for her fantastic introduction to Nova. In it, she made reference to two earlier films made by Cao Fei, Rabid Dogs (2002) and Whose Utopia? (2006). Re-opening the lid on DIM Cinema's candy jar, here is a post-screening bonbon: episode 5 of Art21, in which Cao Fei discusses both these films through her avatar China Tracy. Enjoy!
Through a blend of documentary and magical realism, Cao Fei investigates various aspects of role play.
