Description
Synopsis:
In Shenzhen at night, copyist painters recount their daily lives and their craft. Their acts shift alternately between an artistic and blue-collar imagery, from new technology to classical techniques. Here, another history of painting is being drawn.
About the director:
Paul Heintz was born in 1989 in Saint-Avold (France). He is a Fine Arts graduate from Beaux-Arts de Nancy, Arts Décoratifs de Paris and Le Fresnoy. His work goes through object, sound, video, installation and films. His films were screened in many festivals such as IFFR, FID Marseille, Dok Leipzig, Indie Lisboa or RIDM. Paul’s field of action is a bizarre set of cases where what is real is largely imbued with fiction, and where social normativity also makes its weight entirely felt.
