Biography
Qiu Jiongjiong (b.1977) Qiu Jiongjiong, born in Leshan, Sichuan, China in 1977, currently lives and works in Beijing, is one of the young contemporary Chinese artists. He began painting at the age of 2, and began performing Sichuan opera at the age of 3 (his grandfather is a famous Sichuan opera harlequin actor), and is now active in independent film and painting art. Qiu Jiongjiong's early works were mostly static paintings. Starting in 2007, Qiu Jiongjiong abandoned the static images he was familiar with and began to adopt dynamic video methods. During the period, he completed his debut documentary "The Moon Palace". His film works include two short films "Rehearsal" (2008) and "Huang Lao Lao" (2009), and as well as "The Moon Palace" (2007), "Auntie" (2010), "Xuan Tang Gossip Record" (2011), " Infatuation" (2015), "Jiao Ma Tang Hui" (2021) 5 feature films. From "Infatuation" to "Jiao Ma Tang Hui", he completed the transition from an early documentary film dominated by oral narration to a feature film. The family history of his hometown of Leshan in Sichuan and the family of Sichuan opera are the themes that have appeared many times in his films, and the dialogue in Sichuan dialect is also an important factor that constitutes the unique literary interest and narrative structure of his films.

From scripts based on a large amount of text writing to highly manual production techniques, they provide a worthy sense of gaze and the warmth deserved to be watched over and over. Qiu’s early films have been selected multiple times for the top 10 films of the China Independent Film Festival. "Infatuation" was shortlisted for the 68th Locarno International Film Festival, the 15th MoMA International Documentary Festival and the 40th Hong Kong International Film Festival. As his first feature film, "Jiao Ma Tang Hui" won the CNC cash prize of the Golden Venture Capital Conference, the HUBERT BALS FUND script and development fund of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, the WHITE LIGHT post-production award of the Hong Kong Asian Film Investment Association and Later fund for the Greater Paris Area of Fra
