For a long time, her father was just a blind spot. Only a box of Super 8 films set the puzzle of memories in motion. And a story emerges - in all the colors of the 70s.
Just Another Day
From March 28, 2022, the city of Shanghai began implementing “Citywide Static Management”. A city with 25 million people came to a halt. Residents were not allowed to leave their homes for two months. During this quiet spring, the filmmakers collected videos from the residents of Shanghai about their daily life. They received hundreds of clips from across the city. You won't want to miss them.

What our screening reviewers said: “Absolutely engrossing. Both unique to Shanghai and utterly universal. Fascinating window on China during the early pandemic.”
