Jia / directed by: Weiye Su ; produced by: Jon Montes, David Christensen ; production agency: National Film Board of Canada (Montreal).
In early January 2020, Jerry and Shiny, two Chinese-Canadians living in Regina, were visiting family in Wuhan City. By the middle of that month, Covid-19 became a global headline with Wuhan as its epicentre. A creative and cinematic approach to interviewing in a time of distance, Jia is at once a portrait of a family at a moment in time and a meditation on home.
