蓮花燈 Lotus Lantern

Directed by Xingpei Shen · 2017

Peeking inside a wax lotus, this dreamlike experimental animation pays tribute to legendary Chinese singer Zhou Xuan, linking the filmmaker's queer identity with Chinese heritage.

An Ann Arbor award-winner that turns a tribute to a Chinese singing legend into an intimate, queer reverie.

A peek into the wax lotus. Lotus Lantern is a tribute to late Chinese singer Zhou Xuan, a missing link between filmmaker’s queer identity and Chinese heritage.
