Father
January 2, 2005
Overview
The film is for the 1st Moscow Biennale. The director's father, Cao Chongen, is a famous sculpture artist. Ever since his juvenile time, he has been engaged in producing the sculptures of those who were the exemplars in industry, agriculture and military, together with the political and cultural figures as well as the leaders of Communist Party. In order to celebrate the centenary anniversary of Deng Xiaoping, he was assigned by a former revolutionary base in Guangxi Province a full length sculpture of young Deng Xiaoping, particular the "A Journey of Deng Xiaoping's footprints" was put forward as a tourism brand of Red Classic. Following Father's sculpture, the director stepped on this Red Journey. With the giant sculpture stands erect, a relationship between Father's artist ideal and present reality was unfolded evidently to the furthest.
