Silver Bird and Rainbow Fish plot
Filmmaker and animation artist Lei Lei plunges into the recent Chinese past - especially that of his family - to give meaning to the present. That past was rather turbulent with the 'Great Leap Forward' and the Cultural Revolution. To make it visible, Lei uses a very original combination of animation techniques: from paper clippings to brightly colored clay dolls, and even his hand appears on the screen. In this almost surreal pop art animation, he lets his father Lei Jiaqi tell the story.
