Cinematic Investigations: In Conversation with Nanfu Wang
In-Conversation An intimate conversation with Nanfu Wang, a Chinese-born, US-based documentary filmmaker who has directed four award-winning feature films since 2016.
Fresh from the festival run of her latest Sundance-premiering film, award-winning filmmaker Nanfu Wang shares insights into her creative process. Taking a cinematic and investigative approach to her films, she has tackled issues such as the US and Chinese governments’ responses to the COVID-19 crisis (In the Same Breath – Sundance 2021) and China’s controversial one-child policy (One Child Nation – Sundance 2019, Grand Jury Prize Winner), in addition to her study of the broken American dream (I Am Another You – SXSW 2017, Special Jury Prize winner). An Emmy-nominated filmmaker, Nanfu’s debut feature Hooligan Sparrow was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Documentary. She was also the recipient of the 2020 MacArthur Genius Grant.
