Film Synopsis:A Chinese artist named Liu Fuchang who is professional at making handcraft with clay. The film describes his journey and how these beautiful sculptures have been made which also contains a strong affection for my traditional culture.
Artist's Statement:I've shot this film in China Harbin which is my home city. I met Fuchang Yang by coincidence and I Was very interested in him and his work. We talked about how he made these clay sculptures and I mentioned I want to bring his story and work to more people. Then our journey begins. I really like a quote from Fuchang Yang from the film, “ The clay is only a medium, the culture that we meant to be presented is much more important. I think media arts have some similarities to clay at this point. So I made this documentary short in order to show my culture to those who may not have a chance to acknowledge them through the medium of screen.
