Looking China Youth Film Program 2024

Looking China Youth Film Program 2024

I was invited by Looking China to make a film in Xinjiang on their diverse food, landscapes and culture. My group consisted of 10 filmmakers from the BRICS countries (Russia, South Africa, Brazil and India). We made our films in Xinjiang and then attended the closing ceremony in Beijing.

Birding

Birding

"People nowadays can recognize over 100 logos, but can't identify 10 plants or animals native to their region." Combined with the growing climate catastrophe due to human greed, this quote changed something fundamental in me. Now I can identify over 40 bird species, and will continue pursuing this connection with the beings around me.
