Antimony Capital News Nouvelles de la Capitale d'Antimoine
LIU Guangli • 2019
Antimony Capital News was originally a documentary news broadcast by the local television station in Lengshuijiang. In this film, some of the original footage from early days of the program is intertwined with the footage depicting the film set of the documentary The Local Records of China - The Chapter of Lengshuijiang, attempting to creat a "timeless" narrative. Under a certain specific kind of ideology, the reality and continuity of the genre of "news" no longer exist, leaving behind images that say nothing other than the process of its own birth. Thus, the present moment is always absent.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
LIU Guangli
Director
My work tries to produce a fictional temporality; by creating all kinds of images, I want to link my identity to this world. For me, the truth is revealed when one world slips to another.
