Among the showcased short films, Fifteen Years of Change in China: You Won't Believe What I've Seen documents the experiences of Stuart Wiggin, a British man who has lived in China since 2007.

The documentary captures his journey as he tries a variety of jobs across the country, including firefighting, wrestling, forestry, beach cleaning and cooking.

Additionally, he learns tie-dye techniques from the Bai ethnic group, crafts jingtailan (copper-padded thread-woven enamel) and practices Kunqu Opera. Armed with his camera, he documents these experiences, infusing the narrative with British humor to create an engaging documentary.

Undertaking various jobs has allowed him to realize that, in China, especially in rural areas, every industry is rapidly advancing, he says.

The documentary Bright Cinema explores how a specially designed cinema brings about changes and influences in the daily lives, family relationships and personal emotions of visually impaired people from different generations.
