Ziqi Xu

Hello there, I am Ziqi, a Film Studies MSc student. I am passionate about exploring the mystical senses and non-verbal poetic expressions of film, such as how images evoke a non-visual emotion, memory, and imagination. In addition, I am very interested in publishing and curation, and I hope to devote myself to building a small ecology that can connect museums, exhibitions, films, and publications.
