Suburban Birds 郊区的鸟Dir. Qiu Sheng | China | 113 min | 2018 | Debut Feature | Mandarin | English subtitleQiu&#x27;s directorial touch is remarkably gentle-while rhyming images and stories across plotlines, he avoids schematic logic in favor of a light mystery of unity, seeking a quiet depth beyond sensory perception. – Chloe Lizotte, Film Comment MagazineSynopsisSome ground subsidence has occurred in a suburban area and a team of engineers, including Hao, is dispatched to investigate the cause. After days of wandering around in the empty suburb looking for answers and carrying his heavy gear, Hao walks into a primary school where he finds a diary chronicling the story of a boy and the separation of what seems to be an intimate group. As the investigation keeps going, Hao discovers that this diary might contain prophecies about his own life.Director&#x27;s BiographyQiu Sheng (仇晟) was born in Hangzhou, China in 1989.
