In 2023, as China gradually lifts its COVID-19 restrictions, a female pharmacist navigates the desolate city in this pivotal post-pandemic moment.
Driven by the firm belief that the footnotes of history should not be overlooked or dismissed, filmmaker Xiang Fu is determined to capture the voices that need to be heard – those at risk of being forgotten as they slowly fade away amidst the noise of the modern world. Haunted by the lingering shadows of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Footnote reflects on the past, listens to the present and questions the future: ‘Will the world ever be the same again?’. With an empathetic gaze and a collaborative spirit, this partially performative documentary brilliantly captures the surreal atmosphere of the pandemic and the individual lives that were caught up in this global shock.
This film will screen as part of the programme Shorts: The Future is Unwritten.
