Singing in the Wilderness - Chinese Independent Documentary Screening

Singing in the Wilderness - Chinese Independent Documentary Screening

Location: L'Epée de Bois

Address: 100 Rue Mouffetard, 75005 Paris

Date: 7 Apr

After hiding in the mountains for a century, a Miao ethnic village choir is discovered by an outsider and becomes a national sensation. Two young Miaos and all the villagers must reconcile their faith, identity, and love with the real world of China.



Director's words:

In 2014, I visited Xiao Shuijing Village for the first time. The villagers had just returned from the fields, their hands and feet covered in mud, yet they hurried to gather for singing. With simple accordion accompaniment and serene expressions, the joys and hardships of life converged into their songs. In that moment, I saw a ray of light shining through their simplicity.

Throughout history, the Miao people lost their homeland and script in frequent wars, eventually taking refuge in the barren mountaintops. Amidst continuous migrations, the only thing that endured was their songs - the Miao people revere nature, believing that all things have spirits, and songs serve as vessels for their stories. A hundred years ago, missionaries crossed the oceans, bringing Western classical four-part harmony to the Miao, thereby replacing their own folk songs and memories of the past. Today, as the villagers venture out of the mountains once again, the identity of their songs undergoes yet another transformation. Who are they after all these changes? What truly belongs to them?
