A Long Journey Home | ZHANG Wenqian Zhang Wenqian returns home from her studies abroad and straight into a long-brewing conflict. Quietly armed with a camera, Zhang carefully illuminates the continued fracturing of her family. Threadbare civility takes a sharply violent turn to combative clashes over topics on money, homeownership and other relational aspects of a family unit. But the rawest of scenes bears witness to a daughter’s relationship with her estranged parents. As a distant father tries to recover a tenderness long gone and a mercurial mother charges towards an uncertain future, what remains for Zhang is the pain of the present and the growing distance between them. A new home awaits the family, but the fissures in the foundation may just endure. Screening at the 33rd Singapore International Film Festival! 26 Nov, Sat | 12.30pm | Oldham Theatre Get your tickets on SGIFF.COM
