Linear Rhythm. A portrait of three artists - ACE425.3

WHY I PAINT. Qu working on collage; VO talking about growing up during the Cultural Revolution, and now want to tell everyone how he feels. Jin speaking more verse, saying she wants "to be part of the image makers", and about creating images with words. INFLUENCES. Qu’s collage progressing. His VO says his inspiration is "the whole of art history" mixed with his feelings. Sheen as "Elaine Choi", a Cockney Chinese or a Chinese who happens to be Cockney? Photographs of demonstrators. Qu’s VO saying that everything is said "outside the frame". Jin on "influences", listing her father, and many women writers. Images of school and work. Sheen explains why she "as a Chinese … can play Shakespeare", and suggests that it’s "not just actors who have to be creative".
