In 2021, he made another call on the Memory Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a series of works such as BUMMING IN BEIJING: THE LAST DREAMERS, which left a mark in the history of Chinese documentary history, the identity of documentarian Wu Wenguang seems to divert slowly from solely &#8220;director&#8221;, especially after 2010, his filmmaking practice turned to a kind of &#8220;film writing&#8221;. He completed a host of works with this approach, such as TREATMENT, INVESTIGATING MY FATHER, AUTOBIOGRAPHY: PASS THROUGH, AUTOBIOGRAPHY II: STRUGGLES, AUTOBIOGRAPHY III: EVIDENCE, and followed a thread of embodied practice and day-to-day collective creation. Wu&#8217;s image-making and actions became more closely integrated with the collective &#8220;creative project&#8221;, an implicit and internalized approach on the one hand, and a distinct and incisive practice of concept on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among Wu Wenguang&#8217;s creative projects and workshops in recent years, &#8220;film writing&#8221; is one of the most important training methods that has been practiced in the long term. In this workshop, the scope of discussion is not limited to the precise definition of &#8220;documentary&#8221;, nor does it follow certain rules and boundaries commonly found in the discussions on documentary-making, but rather, out of the respect for the &#8220;spirit of documentary&#8221;, explore the creative use of &#8220;real materials&#8221; or &#8220;real images&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these creative approaches and dialogues, &#8220;documentary&#8221; or &#8220;freedom&#8221; do not serve as a noun, but a verb to be perceived and practiced as a concrete action. Whether it is &#8220;essay film&#8221; , &#8220;auteur film,&#8221; or &#8220;personal film,&#8221; these forms bursting with the spirit of freedom can very well be a pathway to creative practice, but not to be modified or limited by any kind of cinematic terminology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>KEYNOTE SPEAKER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstfilm.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/\u5434\u6587\u5149.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41602\" width=\"102\" height=\"102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstfilm.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/\u5434\u6587\u5149.png 800w, https:\/\/www.firstfilm.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/\u5434\u6587\u5149-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firstfilm.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/\u5434\u6587\u5149-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.firstfilm.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/\u5434\u6587\u5149-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 102px) 100vw, 102px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wu Wenguang &#8211; Documentary Director<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2005, Wu Wenguang launched the Village Documentary Project at the Caochangdi Workstation.
