The first non-fiction feature from Chinese filmmaker Lei Lei – whose background is in experimental animation –revolves around an audio interview conducted with the director’s mother, who recounts her recollections of growing up in Maoist China. Her anecdotes are set against a collage of found footage and imagery collected from flea markets; enigmatic s visual detritus of a bygone era. Lei Lei processes these materials using analogue animation techniques, causing them to scuttle and skip across the frame. The subtle interplay between image and sound results in an evocation of the past which is as slippery and elusive as memory itself.

£13 Full, £11 Concs/Green, £7 Blue Members.

This screening is followed by a Q&A with director Lei Lei hosted by Lilly Husbands, a lecturer in Animation and Visual Culture at Middlesex University.
