The movie won the best Cristal Award for shorts and two honors at this past year’s Annecy fest. “Being a fine arts grad myself, I determined that my main character is a painter.

SisterSiqi SongSong’s CalArts graduation movie has its roots in her youth in China, using wool creations to tell the story of a guy who joyfully recalls growing up with a sister; the movie then shows the real story of his family’s history beneath China’s former one-child policy. Song claims for her the movie is less about the coverage, that has been reversed recently, and more regarding the sibling connection, and she believes that’s what’s resonating with viewers. “It was sort of like a privilege to have the ability to develop a sibling,” she states. “Not lots of folks I know had the chance to do so.”
