A music video for Chen Yinn track I Wanna Give My Love and a video essay about dance in Chinese-language films. In her essay On Dance published in 1944 Eileen Chang writes: “China is a country without dance”. She recounts that in previous centuries people in China were dancing, but already in Ming and Qing they were only watching dance performed but did not join. This video essay focuses on the scenes of dancing in Chinese-language films, exploring the liberating pointlessness and joy of movement. Because China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Chinese diaspora DO have the moves. Film excerpts: The Hole 洞 (1998, dir. Tsai Ming-liang 蔡明亮 Taiwan) Weekend Lover 周末情人 (1995, dir.
