Many Masks

Many Masks is a visually driven experimental documentary that uncovers the intricate connections surrounding a traditional mask from Zhouguan Village, China.

Through the lens of Zhou Ming, a 49-year-old mask artist, the film explores the mask’s shape, the artist's role in the community, and the village's deep ties to this cultural artifact.

This small entity, a mask, becomes a nexus of unexpected connections, extending its influence to a Sri Lankan artist/filmmaker, and even a remote village in Sri Lanka, revealing a web of shared artistry and tradition.
