Why Not Dance 1

Directed by Li Yifan

Using AI, the film turns an interview with a worker named Minghua into a rap animated short. Since junior high school, Minghua has drifted between factory assembly lines, catering, service jobs and labour agencies. He talks about how the assembly line operates, how workers are assigned and kept in constant flux, and also how an invisible mechanism drives people apart, leaving individuals gradually unable to form genuine connections with life, friends and the future.
