Chinese auteur Bi Gan has completed the story of his fourth feature film, which will “focus on human existence itself,” following “Resurrection,” the Cannes prize winner that drew international attention.

“After ‘Resurrection,’ I discovered that people around me are filled with both eagerness and anxiety toward AI. People are no longer trapped in the illusions of the past, but instead find themselves caught in the mirrored reflections of new ones,” says Bi. Such an “abnormality,” as he describes it, creates a kind of “neurosis” that exists globally and has shaped the direction of his next work in relation to his filmography over the past decade. “From now on, I want to look into the human condition from a more minor perspective.”
