Night Is Not Eternal

(Night Is Not Eternal)

For 7 years, Chinese American filmmaker Nanfu Wang followed activist Rosa María Payá in her fight against the Cuban communist regime, which Rosa built on the work of her father Oswaldo Payá, an opposition democrat and five-times Nobel Peace Prize nominee.

Although the women share the idea of a democratic world, after they emigrate to the USA they realise that their ideals diverge. While Nanfu sees a parallel to Chinese communism in American capitalism, Rosa supports the Republican effort to eradicate the left and sees hope for her country in the election of Donald Trump. On a personal and political level, the documentary thus shows the universality but also the duality of the word “democracy”.

My Memory Is Full of Ghosts

After years of war, Homs no longer feels like the “city of smiles” it was once called. The camera, penetrating the ruins, and the memories of people who had to leave, take us there. Their thoughts about the war and the time after it describe the ambience of a specific place and the fate of a nation that wants to live again.
