Chongyan Liu is an artist-filmmaker born in Guizhou, China, who currently resides in Lille, France. After completing her studies at CAFA in Beijing, she pursued a master's degree at Beaux-Arts de Paris, and has now joined a two-year program at Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains. Her creative output spans multiple mediums, including documentary and fiction filmmaking, experimental moving image, painting, and sculpture. Chongyan is currently focused on exploring the intersection of video art and film. Her multidisciplinary approach to filmmaking seeks to redefine boundaries within the medium and challenge preconceived notions of the practice. Arriving in France at the age of 21, her works, nourished by her personal experiences and observations of social dynamics, serve as the foundations for experimentation and reflexivity. The feedback from this process of actualisation creates an echo in which the audience can identify a fragment of themselves; where they too have the chance to confront the latent trappings of yesteryear. Chongyan’s work has been showcased at numerous prestigious international film festivals, such as IDFA, Beijing International Short Film Festival, Seoul International Pride Film Festival, and Videoex.
