Overview

Li Ning is an avant-garde dancer. He struggles between his life as a choreographer and his role as a son, a husband and a father. It’s impressive how the artist pursues truthfulness as he fights the social norm and the way he is reflected in other people’s eyes. This is a provocative film that displays the camera’s intervention to the maximum.

Li Ning

38-year-old Li Ning has already become one of the China’s leading figures in experimental film and physical theater. After entering the sculpture program at Shandong Art School in 1993, he began studying modern dance and performance with renowned choreographer Jin Xing. In 1997 he founded his own physical arts collective "J-town Physical Guerrilla detachment" which has performed throughout Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau among others, and for the past twelve years, Li’s "Made in J-town Film Lab" has lead the way in pushing China’s boundaries of exploration in film and performance.
