“Sino-Wharf—from Chinatown to Red Internationalism” includes three themed screenings over three weekends in a row, which will guide the audience through a three-segment journey from the distant to nearby. “Courier from the East” takes the lead, focusing on the survival of overseas Chinese and the research on the history of other countries. Then in “Lingering Along Borders”, we take our focus back to China and put it on the border and coastal areas, thus the discussions on the regional issues of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Guangzhou. Finally it is about the abstract image of China/Chinese in “China, as THE Concept,” which concerns the issues of Hong Kong and Taiwan, which probably are among the most urgent ones with political tense. Sino-Wharf expects to lead the audience to set on a journey through histories and civilizations, positions and territories, identities and races, which ends up into a world abounds with diversity.

First Screening

Courier from the East

Second Screening

Lingering along Borders

Third Screening

China, as THE Concept

THREE POST-SCREENING TALKS

Along with the screenings every weekend, we will also invite the artists themselves to talk about their creative process, share and exchange their thoughts and stories with the audience. Curators, writers and scholars will also be invited to give lectures or discussions about their research or ideas on identity issues. We hope that more people will come to the site of Sino-Wharf, gather together and share views with each other, making it a busy and vigorous cultural wharf during these three weekends of activities.

ONE EXHIBITION 

Accompanying with the screenings, an exhibition will also be held and include works by the same group of artists. With the space design being inspired by the future city look under the cultural impact from East Asian shown in Blade Runner 2049, as well as by the space construction employed by architect Le Corbusier's Plan Voisin in 1937. As a result, the exhibition is transformed into a multi-layer city referring to the future.

ONE NOSTALGIC BALLAD

 Chinese, Quay, A Rhyme Sailing Across the Oceans 

The programme plans to invite a musician/group to write and compose a folk song with the curator Pu Yingwei. We hope the melodies will record and convey the moving stories of today's Chinese community, and those encounters that seemingly mundane and insipid, yet full of love and tears, separation and union, poetry and dreams.

ONE ONLINE PLATFORM

Collaborating with online screening platform, CEF (Centre for Experimental Film), OCAT Shenzhen will provide interested audience with access to selected video works included in the project Sino-Wharf—from Chinatown to Red Internationalism, striving to offer as much as a remedy or substitution for those who cannot make it to the site.
