Daoism on film, connection with the land and Chinese indie cinema - Return To Dust with Dr Kiki Tianqi Yu

The Garden Cinema Film Talk

We held a Q&A with Dr Kiki Tianqi Yu following one of our screenings of Return To Dust. The film film follows Ma and timid Cao who have been cast off by their families and forced into an arranged marriage. Uniting with Earth’s cycles, they create a haven for themselves in which they can thrive.

Dr Kiki Tianqi Yu talks about the film's depiction of the connection between humans and land and its the philosophical connotations, the director's previous work, the issues around censorship and independent cinema in China.
