Commended as “a painful and nostalgic homage to a fading world and the medium which registered it,” after winning the Special Jury Award at FICUNAM, J.P. Sniadecki (of the Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab) and Chinese artists Xu Ruotao and Huang Xiang’s celluloid collage conjures a ghost story that aptly reflects the terrain it registers. Tracing the lives of lost souls hovering about a once-rich oil town now in ruins, Yumen (玉门) creates a spellbinding story registering the effects of late-stage capitalism.
