Documentary filmmaker Wu Wenguang started the Folk Memory Documentary Project in 2010, when a handful of people took video cameras and went back to their villages to document and focus on the years from 1959 to 1961, a period known as the "Great Chinese Famine". Each filmmaker had some prior relationship to the village. Some of them were born or grew up there, some still live there and some had never lived in the village but had parents or grandparents who had.
The films will be screened and Wu will give a speech about the project.
4-8 pm, April 8. Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, 798 art zone, 4 Jiuxianqiao Lu, Chaoyang district, Beijing. 010-5780-0200.
