[Extract]
What’s hot in anthropological multimedia spaces right now? In this issue, we take a look at Luc Schaedler’s 2018 documentary film A Long Way Home (https://store.der.org/a-long-way-home-p1031.aspx).
To say this film is (still) hot would be somewhat of an understatement. It has been seen in all the right spaces and the critics are impressed:
EPOS Intl. Art Filmfestival, Israel, 2020
Festival International de Programmes Audiovisuels, France, 2019
Innsbruck International Film Festival, Austria, 2019
Nomination Prix de Soleure, Nomination für Swiss Film Award, Solothurner Filmtage, Switzerland, 2018
42e Festival des films du monde Montréal, Canada, 2018
Dharamshala International Film Festival, India, 2018
A Long Way Home concerns itself with the arts and political counterculture in China. We, the audience, trace recent Chinese history through the lives of five significant counterculture artists in China: the visual artists the Gao Brothers (Zhen and Qiang), the choreographer and dancer Wen Hui, the animation artist Pi San and the poet Ye Fu. The film offers teachers of anthropology rich fodder for grappling with the complexities of Chinese culture.
