A River Runs, Turns, Erases, Replaces

May 3—May 7, 2025
    Part of
  • Wuhan, Different Every Day
  • and
  • BAM Film 2025
Directed by Zhu Shengze (2021)
A portrait of urban spaces along the Yangtze River in the city of Wuhan. An engaging communal stage on which people perform in various ways: some dancing, singing, swimming; some shoveling, welding, and hammering. An evolving landscape that is continuously sculpted by nature and dramatically altered by roaring machines and rising infrastructure. Where desires are planted. Where memories are buried. The lost place.
