Synopsis

The Last Lotus Feet films a group of women with bound feet, a practice that existed in China for more than a thousand years. The last women with bound feet in China are all around 90 years old. Using the direct cinema approach, the film records their lives and, through the camera, listens to the hardships they have been through, documenting this disappearing group on film. Together with works by China Central Television, Xinhua News Agency and CCTV News, the film won third prize in the short video section of the 13th Beijing International Film Festival. It was also named one of the top ten works at the 4th Short Video Competition of the Shanghai TV Artists Association and 2nd College Student Short Video Competition, among other honors.
