Laughing, Wondering & Meditating — Total running time approximately 55′
Young men posing amid traffic in the Chinese city of Guangzhou; a fictional factory that produces canned laughter for sitcoms; a rickety elevator in a building where odd things happen. The films in this program explore different kinds of strangeness, ranging from works embracing unexpected encounters, to humor, anxiety and madness.
