ABOUT NANFU'S WORK
Nanfu Wang is a documentary filmmaker creating intimate character studies that examine the impact of authoritarian governance, corruption, and lack of accountability on the lives of individuals and the well-being of communities. With the rigor of an investigative journalist and immersive, emotionally powerful storytelling, Wang interrogates notions of responsibility and freedom, particularly amid the repressive state mandates in her native China.

Her first feature film, Hooligan Sparrow (2016), is a courageous and humane treatment of a Chinese women’s rights activist, Ye Haiyan, as she travels to Hainan Province and protests the sexual abuse of six elementary schoolgirls by their school principal. Using a first-person narrative structure, Wang becomes an active figure in the film’s development, a technique she uses in subsequent films and that establishes an intimate and empathetic bond between her subjects, herself, and the viewer. She traces the increasing government surveillance and intimidation of Ye Haiyan, while simultaneously documenting the personal danger in which she finds herself as authorities attempt to shut down the filming and confiscate her film. In I Am Another You (2017), Wang crafts a richly layered portrait of a charismatic homeless man, Dylan, whom she films as he eats and sleeps on the streets of Florida. The film unfolds like a mystery story, as Wang’s initial perception of Dylan’s homelessness as a choice and form of freedom is upended when she travels to Utah to meet Dylan’s father. He sheds light on the irrational decisions Wang witnessed his son make, forcing her to reinterpret her earlier encounters with Dylan. The result is a poignant and visually arresting portrait of mental illness. Wang’s most recent film, One Child Nation (2019), is a deeply personal exploration of the one-child family planning policy in effect in China from 1979 to 2015. Wang reveals layers of responsibility for enforcement of the nation’s draconian birth control policy through interviews with parents and family members of babies who were abandoned or given up, as well as a village obstetrician tasked with aborting thousands of fetuses and a former local official who carried out orders that led to untold numbers of forced sterilizations. She captures how compliance and adherence to official mandate was achieved at tremendous personal cost and contributed to the growth of the international adoption and human trafficking industries.

Wang’s provocative films are deepening our understanding of the impact of state policies on citizens while elevating the experiences of those with the least power over their circumstances.

关于男栿的工作
王男栿一位纪录片导演,他创作的亲密人物研究,审视了专制统治、腐败和缺乏问责制对个人生活和社区福祉的影响。王南芙以调查记者的严谨态度和身临其境、情感强烈的叙事方式,审视责任和自由的概念,特别是在她的家乡中国的压制性国家任务中。

她的第一部电影《流氓燕》(2016年),是对中国女权活动家叶海燕的勇敢和人性化的处理,她前往海南省,抗议六名女小学生被校长性虐待的事件。利用第一人称的叙事结构,王小波在影片的发展过程中成为一个活跃的人物,她在随后的影片中使用这种技巧,在她的拍摄对象、她自己和观众之间建立了一种亲密和共鸣的联系。她追踪了政府对叶海燕越来越多的监视和恐吓,同时记录了她在当局试图关闭拍摄和没收她的影片时发现的个人危险。在《我是另一个你》(2017年)中,王晓明为一个有魅力的流浪汉迪伦塑造了一个层次丰富的肖像,她拍摄了他在佛罗里达州街头的饮食和睡眠。这部电影像一个神秘的故事一样展开,当王的最初看法是迪伦的无家可归是一种选择和自由的形式,当她去犹他州见迪伦的父亲时,她的看法被颠覆了。他揭示了Wang目睹他儿子所做的非理性决定,迫使她重新解释她与Dylan的早期接触。其结果是一个凄美的、视觉上引人注目的精神疾病的肖像。王的最新电影《一个孩子的国家》(2019年),是对1979年至2015年在中国生效的独生子女计划生育政策的深刻个人探索。通过采访被遗弃或放弃的婴儿的父母和家庭成员,以及一名负责堕胎的乡村产科医生和一名执行命令导致数不清的强迫绝育的前地方官员,王氏揭示了执行国家严厉的节育政策的责任层次。她捕捉到遵守和坚持官方授权是如何以巨大的个人代价实现的,并促进了国际收养和人口贩运行业的发展。

王的挑衅性电影加深了我们对国家政策对公民的影响的理解,同时提升了那些对自己处境最有权力的人的经历。
