奶奶 (Nai Nai)
a short film by Wyatt Wu
ABOUT THE FILM
An embedded camera lives with the filmmaker’s grandma, riveting us with her strong will, electric scenes of reckoning, and confrontation with the camera itself. Nai Nai follows the story of a Chinese immigrant grandmother, Chu-Ming Wu. Known as “Nai Nai,” Chu-Ming has always been a woman of control. But her grasp of reality and the control of her own mind is slipping away. Told through the lens of her grandson, the film focuses on all emotional aspects in the last chapters of her life.
