Capital Film Festival (CFF) – Welcome to Babel – Q&A Screening

Saturday, November 2 @ 3:30pm

Followed by an in-person discussion with Artist Jiawei Shen, Director James Bradley and Producer Graeme Isaacs!

A fascinating and absorbing portrait of Chinese-Australian artist Shen Jiawei, WELCOME TO BABEL follows Jiawei’s quest to create ‘Tower of Babel,’ a monumental mural depicting his homeland’s tumultuous recent history. Intertwined with political context and the inter-country relationship between China and Australia, this illuminating documentary follows one obsessive, determined man’s mission to craft an epic work that will take years to complete and ultimately stand over three stories high. Uncover Jiawei’s incredible journey from growing up in Mao’s China and surviving the Cultural Revolution before emigrating to Australia where he now stands as one of the most important figures in the art world.
