Animism

This short film depicts women in Yunnan, China. With their hands, they sense the diversity of nature, of human beings, love, peace and the plant kingdom, as well as the universe of one plant, one insect, one flower. The touch of a mushroom, a little momentary smoke, and the spirit of the plant world stirs deeply within you. A universal bond, an invigorating energy.
It's about girl power，Most of the creators were women.
Referencing the theory of the Four Elements, this film is about the relationship between nature and women. Every-thing in the universe depends on the combination of earth, water, fire and wind. If one is missing, flowers can't bloom, trees can't grow tall and straight, and quinoa can't be har-vested. It was thinking along these lines that I began to cre-ate. "When you perceive everything at close range, you get a new insight. Like the earth, Yunnan's topography, moun-tains and rocks are closely related, and they support every-thing. Water captures everything. It is the moisture of snow and the accumulation of rain. Nature’s creation here is without turbulence or ripples: it also allows us to feel the tenderness of women. Fire is here, the essence of warmth, and everything matures. Cooking in the open air, in nature, Li Minguo (the founder of Tianzi Biodiversity Development Center) makes fire and stirs the spiritual food, quinoa, in an almost primitive way. Let people feel the surging life force. I note here that ‘wind’ in traditional Chinese characters is not just a phonetic sound. Pictorially it suggests "wind mov-ing insects", not just air flow: we want to express a sign of life. The flow is sex, it can grow all things and make every-thing harmonize.”
