:"Sinofuturism is an invisible movement. A spectre already embedded into a trillion industrial products, a billion individuals, and a million veiled narratives. It is a movement, not based on individuals, but on multiple overlapping flows. Flows of populations, of products, and of processes. Because Sinofuturism has arisen without conscious intention or authorship, it is often mistaken for contemporary China. But it is not. It is a science fiction that already exists.Sinofuturism is a video essay combining elements of science fiction, documentary melodrama, social realism, and Chinese cosmologies, in order to critique the present-day dilemmas of China and the people of its diaspora.With reference to Afrofuturism and Gulf Futurism, Sinofuturism presents a critical and playful approach to subverting cultural clichés.In Western media and Orientalist perceptions, China is exotic, strange, bizarre, kitsch, tacky, or cheap. In its domestic media, China portrayed as heroic, stable, historic, grand, and unified. Rather than counteract these skewed narratives, Sinofuturism proposes to push them much further.By embracing seven key stereotypes of Chinese society (Computing, Copying, Gaming, Studying, Addiction, Labour and Gambling), it shows how China's technological development can be seen as a form of Artificial Intelligence."

:本部饱受争议的离奇影片围绕马戏团里一群畸形人展开。矮人汉斯(哈利·厄尔斯 Harry Earles饰)暗自倾心于“正常人”——美貌的秋千表演者克里奥佩特拉(奥尔加·巴古拉诺娃 Olga Baclanova饰),同为侏儒人的弗里达(黛西·厄尔斯 Daisy Earles饰)告诫汉斯,她只是为他的钱财。克里奥佩特拉与“正常人”大力士赫克留斯(道格•霍奇森 Henry Victor饰)两人相好,设计让克里奥佩特拉嫁给汉斯得到钱财。婚礼上,克里奥佩特拉大吼在场的人都是“FREAKS”,激怒了所有畸形人。雨夜,畸形人对这两个“正常人”展开了报复……本片在1932年发行后因题材过于怪诞而被禁止,成为了当时的赔钱电影。可在当下来看,却是一部难得的“正常”影片。导演向我们抛掷了一个赤裸裸的提问:到底谁才是“正常人”?
