“A USELESS FICTION”
Awarded experimental film from Macao again in Ljubljana
„A Useless Fiction” (Nekoristna fikcija), a short experimental ethnographic film by Macao visual anthropologist Cheong Kin Man will be presented at the DokuBazaar (independent festival of documentary film). Movie will be held on 23 September (Thursday) at 6pm in Club Gromka in Ljubljana.
The 31-minute short film draws on scenes from the filmmaker’s daily life and the process of filmmaking, raising several anthropological and existential questions on nature, origin, language, non-existence, identity, visual media and dominant cultures. Among many multilayered stories depicted in the film, there is a short chapter about the filmmaker’s parents who were once illegal Chinese immigrants in Macau.
The film was presented at Festival de Cannes’ Short Film Corner in France, Cinemística Film Festival in Spain, Kino Otok – Isola Cinema International Film Festival in Slovenia and will be shown at Columbia Gorge International Film Festival in the US. The film won „2015 Rising Star Award” at Canada International Film Festival and is invited by the Alliance Française de Singapour to be shown in Singapore.
