About

This site is dedicated to independent Chinese films and artists that are banned within China and erased from the Chinese internet. It aims to address the issue of censorship in China and amplify the creative voices that have been silenced, as well as raise awareness of this issue on an international scale to people who may be unfamiliar with it. The homepage consists of an empty bookshelf that represents the ongoing erasure of media and history as well as the oppression of the freedom of expression in China. When the shelves are hovered on, resources such as information about banned films, filmmaker profiles, articles and reports about the film, and description of relevant social issues will appear. The project serves as both a catalog of educational resources about independent Chinese films and a statement against censorship and restriction on freedom of artistic expression.
