Wave Poster

Wave: Directed by Xiaoan Zhang. With Akebaierjiang Abuliezi. The film records a day of Akebaierjiang, a Uyghur young man living in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, China. He is passionate about popping dancing when not working as a doctor on the night shift at the Emergency Center. As an ER doctor, he is committed, but he never has the same enthusiastic enjoyment as when dancing. Akebaierjiang lives on a wave flowing back and forth between uplifted and sober moods, and this can be a miniature of a day of many ordinary people, especially in less developed regions, who are working in a career such as a doctor that is more accepted by family and society but have eager and enthusiasm in creative art in their deep hearts. This film aims to present the struggle and balance between being responsible for a current job in a real-life and pursuing a dream.
