SUMMARY:Gillman Barracks - NTU CCA Singapore - Shoot for the Contents (1991)
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on Mao’s famous saying\, “Let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend\,” Trinh T. Minh-ha’s film—whose title refers in part to a Chinese guessing game—is a unique excursion into the maze of allegorical naming and storytelling in China. The film ponders questions of power and change\, politics and culture\, as refracted by Tiananmen Square events. It offers at the same time an inquiry into the creative process of filmmaking\, intricately layering Chinese popular songs and classical music\, the sayings of Mao and Confucius\, women’s voices and the words of artists\, philosophers\, and other cultural workers. Video images emulate the gestures of calligraphy and contrast with film footage of rural China and stylised interviews. Like traditional Chinese opera\, Trinh’s film unfolds through “bold omissions and minute depictions” to render “the real in the illusory and the illusory in the real.” Exploring color\, rhythm and the changing relationship between ear and eye\, this meditative documentary realises on screen the shifts of interpretation in contemporary Chinese culture and politics. \nBIOGRAPHY\nTrinh T. Minh-ha (Vietnam/United States) is a filmmaker\, writer\, composer and Professor of Rhetoric and of Gender & Women’s Studies at the UC Berkeley. Her work includes numerous books\, such as Lovecidal.
