FNC 2014: ‘Xi You – Journey to the West’
Presented in the FNC Lab section, that features experimental and more minimalistic films, Tsai Ming Lang’s Xi You- Journey to the West is a beautiful and stylistic piece on Lee Kang Sheng and his very slow walk that he films in different spaces. In Ming Lang’s words: “In 2011, Lee Kang Sheng walked very slowly on the stage during my play called Only you. His performance was so perfect that I decided to film it”. Xi You is Tsai Ming Lang’s latest film out of his six “Walker” film series that seek to document the particular walk. It takes place in the city of Marseille, France.
