The lecture seeks to trace the changing contours of the independent documentary community in China today and its polymorphous social and expressive manifestations. The independent DV documentaries produced and circulated within and beyond this community demonstrate the wide spectrum of documentary practices as well as explore the relationships between aesthetic experimentation, the ethics of representation, and political advocacy.
