Synopsis
“Action 2024” is a snapshot of independent filmmaker Wu Wenguang's experiences during the year 2024, which he spent in a village called Shijiawan growing rice, corn, and vegetables, and raising chickens, ducks, and geese. What sets this work apart from Wu's previous films is that it was not conceived as a project first, leading to a film; instead, it emerged organically from the filmmaker's life working in the village—farming and raising poultry—during which time he had attached to his body a miniature camera. This process prioritized living and farming first, followed by documentation, and ultimately resulted in an 18-hour film which follows the chronological order of occurrences and documentation, and is structured into five chapters: “June,” “July,” “August,” “September,” and “October.” Screened online over 5 consecutive Fridays from January 31 to February 28, 2025.
