Ambiguity Film presents two films by Chinese documentary filmmaker Wu Wenguang: Bumming in Beijing: The Last Dreamers (1990) and At Home in the World (1995).

These two films, shot five years apart, document the journey of several Chinese artists from idealistic drifters in Beijing to becoming diasporic individuals struggling with harsh realities abroad. The first film, Bumming in Beijing: The Last Dreamers, is considered China's first independent documentary and a representative work of The New Documentary Movement, holding significant historical value.

Please note there will be a 10 minute break between films.

Booking opens 20 July

Ambiguity Film seeks to spotlight the vibrant yet underrepresented underground Chinese films which capture essential narratives that confront and document the obscured realities and histories marginalized by official discourse. Ambiguity Film was founded with the dual purpose of broadening the accessibility of these important works and engaging both the diaspora and global audiences in a deeper understanding of China’s dynamic social landscape.
