He Film

The documentary portrays the journey of a projectionist who has been sharing films with villagers for 37 years. Initially, he would carry an old projector by foot and bicycle, displaying films on a small screen in front of farms. Today, he rides a motorcycle and uses a large screen, with films being sent from Beijing to Chengdu via satellite.

Set against the backdrop of the stunning mountains and bamboo forests of Sichuan, He Film captures the cultural significance of cinema for these rural communities. Villagers still gather on the roads, bringing their stools to enjoy movies together, showcasing the enduring power of storytelling through film in an evolving technological landscape.
