Director's Statement
<p>Director’s Statement： “Raspy Spring” is not a descriptive film – it’s a challenge I set myself. The film can be seen as a visionary dream located in China’s Caochangdi. I challenged myself to film something I couldn’t see, to manage the space in a new way and to use a new filming style and language. “Raspy Spring” lingers on warmth which is constrained in a small place and on vapid happiness, and shows how these give rise to blazing vitality and emotions.</p>
