Purity Greater than or Equal to 99.99%

Directed by Guangli Liu

Between 2018 and 2019, I filmed the documentary "Capital News" in my hometown, which documented the process of making a documentary about local chronicles. At the end of 2022, the members of the original film crew were stranded around the world due to the pandemic and had to rely solely on phone calls to stay in touch. On August 15, 2024, the Chinese government introduced a directive to regulate exports. Individual memories, collective actions, urban landscapes, natural elements, the depiction of workers' bodies - all these aspects are subject to control and reflect a purification process that reaches 99.99%.
