Colors in Motion: The Evolution of Yunnan.
This film explores the living, breathing ethnic fashion of Yunnan, China. While traditions elsewhere are often “preserved” as relics of the past, the people of Yunnan are continuously reinventing their identities through a cutting-edge aesthetic. Resonating with the experimental sounds of YOSHIMIO (BOREDOMS) and Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), this is a definitive fashion-music-documentary road movie that defies convention.
