A Soil A Culture A River A People
In a dystopian future, a silent, observant Chinese man wanders through a simulacrum of a German city.
In a time in which political tensions have slammed international borders shut, Citizen Yu can only experience Hanover, Germany, as an eerie theme park built from memories of the past. Shot nostalgically on 16mm, this intriguing, dreamlike slice of slow cinema turns a contemporary cityscape surreal under this solemn tourist’s quiet gaze.
