The Vision Forum Film Publication is in the Shops


Vision Forum Film is very proud to announce the catalogue "Vision Forum Film Three Film Collaborations between Sweden and China."It looks at three projects that Vision Forum has undertaken in 2011-12: The River by Yang Tingting, Effektivia by Jesper Frilund and Assembly Line by Li Xiaofei. The book is edited by Rudi Heinrichsen, translated by Yan Rong and beautifully designed by Erik MÃ¥nsson.

"This publication is the outcome of “Film and Visual Art: Globalization and Democracy in Sweden and China” , a project that we have developed, in cooperation with Fei Art Center in Shanghai, in order to inspire young people to become involved in issues of globalization, democracy, and human rights through collaborative film ventures. We have brought together young people from Sweden and China and allowed them to reflect on how human beings respond to the pressure that is put on young people in our globalised world."

Assembly Line - Li Xiaofei Solo Exhibition in Shanghai




The product of over several years of work and over 60 factory visits Li Xiaofei's "Assembly Line" series presents a multifaceted exploration of life in the land of manufacturing. The work combines interview-style videos with workers and factory foremen intercut with luscious scenes of factory interiors, spinning wheels, turning cranks and flashing lights.

The show will feature a number of the interview-style videos, plus more atmospheric video works based on the theme of industrial landscapes (depicting rivers of silvery iron ore and majestic smoke stacks), plus a number of photography works which feature the fantastical forms and otherworldly colors of the factory interiors.

This body of work explores a number of interlocking themes including the relationship between labor and management, between man and machine, between the factory and the individual, between the individual and society. At the same time it offers us a privileged view into spaces which we would rarely visit opening a window into the lives of China's 100 million strong manufacturing labour force.
