The Nose Knows: Foreignness and Fortune in China
Director: Bill Callahan and Kieran Hanson
Country of Origin: Singapore and United Kingdom
Premiere: Tennessee
Synopsis: What can noses tell us about Chinese identity, and the PRC's increasingly important place in the world? There are so many different kinds of noses. But what can they tell us? Can they be political? Throughout Chinese history, noses have been used to separate Chinese people from foreigners. In the present day, they can also be the key to changing your destiny. If we know more about noses, perhaps we can better understand how China sees itself and its increasingly important place in the world.
