China Villager Documentary Project: China Village Self-Governance Film Project

Filmmakers Wu Wenguang and Jian Yi trained 10 villagers from across China to make films documenting electoral processes in their home villages. Pursuing the ideal that anyone can become a documentary filmmaker, this project sparked a new model of Chinese participatory documentary, with community members depicting their own lives. The resulting works—surprisingly humorous, and filled with their own local flavor—vividly reveal the realities of village life and democracy in action.

Directors: Zhou Cengjia, Ni Lianghui, Jia Zhitan, Wang Wei, Zhang Huancai, Nong Ke, Fu Jiachong, Sqrolma Tshe Ring, Yi Chujian, Shao Yuzhen
