With her production house Tail Bite Tail Films, Dongnan Chen crafts films that turn lived experience into cinematic fables, exploring transitional identities and the in-between spaces of reality and the imagined.
Her works include 14 Paintings (Sundance, IDFA, MOMA DocFortnight), Singing in the Wilderness (IFFR, New Directors/New Films), Sound of Vision (Emmy-nominated), and The Trail from Xinjiang. Whispers in May is her second feature.
