IQMF: Two Mountains Weighing Down My Chest

In this personal documentary, filmmaker Viv Li explores her identity and sense of belonging while moving between Berlin and Beijing. Immersed in Berlin’s alternative queer and artistic communities, she struggles to reconcile her experiences of freedom and self-expression with the more traditional expectations of her family in China. Through humour and self-reflection, the film explores cultural differences, family relationships and the complexities of finding one’s place in the world.
