Based in Barcelona yet deeply attentive to Asian cultural contexts, Guxens approaches each territory not as an outsider looking in, but as a listener\u2014tuning into fragile gestures, suspended atmospheres, and the quiet tensions of identity.<\/p><p>The three films set in China \u2014 <b><i>I Don&#8217;t Think It Is Going to Rain<\/i><\/b> (2019), <b><i>A Distant Noise<\/i><\/b> (2023), and <b><i>A Hakka Song<\/i><\/b> (2024) \u2014 form a trilogy on contemporary China\u2019s generational gap, unfolding across pre- and post-pandemic years. Moving between observation and quiet narrative, the films linger in suspended moments\u2014where environment, voice and song become carriers of history and change.\u00a0<\/p><p>Completing the programme is <b><i>Kokuhaku<\/i><\/b> (2024), a Spanish-Japanese queer short movie centered on Tadashi. In this work, confession serves both as a narrative device and a means of cultural negotiation. The film delicately explores vulnerability, intergenerational silences, and the complexities of queer identity across linguistic and cultural borders.\u00a0<\/p><p>Together, these four works reveal a filmmaker engaged in sustained dialogue with Asia through proximity and care. They pose questions about approaching another culture without appropriation and about how cinema can hold space for ambiguity.<\/p><p>The screening will be followed by a live Q&amp;A with Adri\u00e0 Guxens, offering audiences the opportunity to delve deeper into his process, long-term engagement with Asian contexts, and the ethics of cross-cultural storytelling in contemporary short cinema.<\/p><p>Purchase your full-festival pass (passe-partouts) and day passes <a href=\"https:\/\/springutrecht.nl\/en\/tickets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.
