Shot entirely in one take, this experimental documentary from Harvard’s groundbreaking Sensory Ethnography Lab views a public park as a prismatic microcosm of self-expressions in contemporary China. More than an ethnographic snapshot, the film is a sensory exploration of cinematic time and space.

Diving into the ruins of a ghost town, this hauntingly disjointed celluloid collage, shot entirely on 16mm, pays tribute to the dying gasps of a medium. A bold, brilliant collaboration between the Sensory Ethnography Lab (Leviathan) and two Chinese avant-gardists: Xiang Huang and Xu Ruotao.
