Ai Weiwei: Yours Truly

Movie

1h 16m
English
Documentary
Ai Weiwei, famous for his large-scale installation work and his dogged social justice advocacy, created a career-defining work in 2015 with @Large, mounted at Alcatraz, the emblematic site associated with egregious incarceration conditions and radical Native American protest. At the core of @Large were portraits of prisoners of conscience coupled with the opportunity to write letters of solidarity to the imprisoned. In her impassioned and powerful film, exhibition curator Cheryl Haines visits several current and former prisoners, including American whistleblower Chelsea Manning, and learns how these letters were vital to their survival. “The misconception of totalitarianism is that freedom can be imprisoned. This is not the case. When you constrain freedom, freedom will take flight and land on a windowsill.” — Ai Weiwei

[Dart FF] A film about the artist Ai Weiwei cannot focus only on his figure, because his work speaks of justice and human rights... Mainly around the @Large exhibition, it combines the story of the Chinese artist with the chronicle of the thousands of political prisoners in the world. There are emotional moments, especially when the director slows down the pace. Formally it's conventional, emotionally it's effective.
