The Future with Us

Creative Statement The film focuses on traditional Chinese opera, Tai Chi, calligraphy, embroidery and other intangible cultural heritage, explores the inheritance dilemma in modern society, and thinks about how to balance the development of traditional culture and future technology. The film begins with a candle, which symbolizes the origin of civilization, reflecting the characters in intact traditional costumes, which is in sharp contrast with the dilapidated urban background. Although traditional culture has faded out of the mainstream vision, its spirit is still sticking. However, under the impact of technological development, traditional culture is gradually replaced by emotionless technology. The picture is gradually compressed and presents a sense of suffocation, expressing that traditional culture is disappearing in the technological torrent. At the end, the candle is returned, leaving a reflection on the future: extinction or hope?
