Zheng Lu Xinyuan
Zheng Lu Xinyuan is a filmmaker based in Hangzhou, China. Her growing oeuvre carries a distinct feminist sensitivity and criticality, visualizing the asynchronicity of compressed urban strata and fabrics—the undercurrent emotions of the single-child generation negotiating memory, intimacy, and longing in post-socialist and post-market reform urban China.
As a filmmaker in the transition of independent Chinese cinema movements and the emerging new mode of filmmaking that wrestles with pressing domestic censorship, Xinyuan has been adapting her practice by making socially engaged video-art projects with migrant youth, circulating and discussing her works in community spaces, and providing alternative cinema education through grassroots film workshops. Xinyuan lives honestly and shares her unflinching creativity and ingenuity in sensing and questioning the cinema worlds and beyond.
