Moving Mountains
December. 13,2016
Yang Fudong, one of the most influential contemporary artists in China, is known for his epic black-and-white films and photographs, which straddle the worlds of contemporary art installation and cinema. Moving Mountains is a 46-minute, black-and-white film, accompanied by photographs from the film set, drawings and props. The film is inspired by the ancient tale of a man, seeking to move a mountain, and extolls the virtues of perseverance and collective action. The artist makes this story a poetic reflection upon human nature and the shifting values to which it can be subjected.
Reviews
one of my absolute favorites!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
