On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature JUN (Wenjun Dong):
“"JUN (Wenjun Dong) was born in China, and fulfilled her enlightenment in fashion design and fine arts in Milano. After an encounter with the performing arts and filmmaking in London, she moved to Tokyo to complete her approach to creation.
“As a filmmaker, my journey began with a passion for exploring the relationship between human bodies and fabric during my fashion studies. This perspective has shaped my approach to filmmaking, where I view films as dynamic movements and interpretations of single images. In addition, I have delved into documenting theatre performances, recognizing the contrasting nature of films and live performances. While films can be re-edited and re-screened, capturing the essence of a one-time, transient live performance presents a different set of challenges. Embracing the distinctive qualities of both mediums, I aim to weave captivating narratives that explore the fluidity of movement, humanity, and the enduring power of the cinematic art form.”
“The film I have presented to SWIFF this time, If{Lemon}, is inspired by a theatre project where I make lemon as the performer. In a constant cycle of statements and images that develop and dissolve, the viewer gets the opportunity to engage with the narrative, identify their own presence and become part of the film in the exhibition space.” "”
This episode was hosted and produced by Mark Leschinsky, the Festival Director of the Student World Impact Film Festival.
