The experimental visual artist and director of Poet On a Business Trip talks about his efforts to make unusual Chinise film and explains how stints as an investment banker and a fortune teller helped inspire him to tackle unfamiliar subjects. On his first trip to London for a Q&A event that was part of the Chinese Visual Festival, Anqi was talking – via a translator – to the film critic Tony Rayns.
