A Story About Fire
Dir: Li Wenyu
2025, Putonghua, 85mins, DCP
Cast: (Voice Cast) Yang Haoyu, Zhou Xun, Bei Yile, Kang Chunlei
Years ago, humans travelled to the Holy Mountain to bring back the secret to warmth and light. Instead, they brought back a monkey, Ran Bi Wa, who grows up among humans as one of their own. Now flanked by a wolf named Doggie, Ran Bi Wa sets towards the Holy Mountain again, encountering many obstacles along the way. A tale as elemental as life itself, inspired by ancient Qiang legends, Li Wenyu’s A Story About Fire recalls the classics of children’s animation, finding great kineticism and a unique palette in the traditions of Chinese folklore and scroll paintings.
