Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf

Fang Xiu Ying, 67 years old and suffering from Alzheimer's disease, becomes increasingly aware that her life is coming to an end. The film Mrs. Fang (2018) is set in a remote village in southern China and depicts the last days of a woman coming to terms with her approaching death. At the same time, it sheds light on the lives of the people around her – her relatives and neighbors who gather to bid her a final farewell. The camera accompanies her in long, lingering shots that capture the events around her bed.

The screening is a collaboration between the Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf and the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf.

Admission is free.
