This year we welcome Zhao Liang to the festival as one of our In Focus filmmakers and alongside the screenings, he will present a masterclass on his work and creative process. Liang is one of China’s most celebrated documentary artists and a key figure within the independent documentary movement that developed within the country at the turn of the century. His work spans cinema, video art and installation and has been presented at festivals and exhibitions worldwide.

This talk will be hosted by Tony Rayns.
