The Cloud In Her Room
Zheng Lu Xinyuan
2020, Hong Kong/China, 98 min., Chinese with English subtitles
A pastiche of domestic life and otherworldly/dreamy scenes, The Cloud in her Room is an intimate portrait of Muzi. A 22-year-old university graduate, Muzi returns to her hometown for Chinese New Year. In Hangzhou, she encounters a strange man who reminds her of an old friend - waking up memories of her relationship with whom that suddenly disappeared into thin air. A black-and-white film on belonging and rootlessness, The Cloud in her Room merges astonishing compositions with a radical representation of alienated youth. Winner of the Tiger Award at IFFR 2020.
After the screening Zheng Lu Xinyuan will join us digitally to introduce her work. Visual Anthropologist Dr. Lana Askari will moderate the Q&A.
