Looking for Cobra 1999

Like Wu Wenguang's Bumming in Beijing, Liu Xiaojin's documentary focuses on independent artists wandering the Chinese capital, but with an obvious female perspective. Liu shoots a group of female artists, including Yunnan dancer Wen Hui, Xinjiang painter Yang Keqin, artist-curator Liao Wen, and others. The "Cobra" in the film's title references the name of a women's rock band at the time. "The climax of the film finds 12 female artists organizing their own joint art exhibition...a female public space is formed among them, bringing them together." -- Zhang Zhen.

Chronicle of the Minorities Institute 2005

Filmmaker Liu Xiaojin spent 7 years shooting this film documenting the birth and demise of a unique educational venture, the Yunnan Ethnic Minority Institute. Founded by classical composer Tian Feng in 1994, the school was set up to help preserve the traditional music and dance of the Yi, Hani, Naxi, and Tibetan minority groups in Yunnan Province. Although the school ran into legal and financial problems and had to be shut down in 2000, it has had a lasting influence on the preservation and expression of traditional culture in Yunnan.

Five Contemporary Artists from Southwest China 1993

This film gives a matter-of-fact record of the creation and lives of 5 artists: Wang Chuan, Zhou Chunya, Ye Yongqing. Zhang Xiaogang, and Mao Xuhui. They belong to the generation that grew up under the People's Republic that took part in all the big and small political movements and social transformations in China in the last 30 years. Now, in the course of China's transformation to modernization, they are facing a rather complicated reality and cultural problem. Time flies like an arrow -- natural selection is going on mercilessly. For the past decade, they have always been consistent in the observation of a lofty spirit, and independent personal integrity, and never have they given up their love and exploration for a single day.
