“Yangtze Drift” (2015)
Director: John Rash
Country: China
Run time: 27 minutes
Language: Mandarin (English subtitles)
This graceful, looping path along the Yangtze River, Asia’s longest river, allows reality to give way to kinetic abstractions. In black and white, this quiet and meditative river tour often confounds preconceptions while at the same time disputes the authenticity of the journey on which we have embarked. We experience life by the river through dancing, washing and reflections, allowing us to consider the important role of water and the human condition.
