GAN Xiao'er • 2008
In the summer of 2007, Gan Xiaoer led an independent film projection team, using projectors and self-made screens, to tour villages in Henan province to show his feature film "Raised from dust" for 8 times, and recorded the process. The 81-minute version of Church Cinema records only one stop, the Qiliying Church, where "Raised from dust" was shot.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

GAN Xiao'er
Director
Xiao Wu doesn’t watch Xiao Wu.This means that the famous film has not reached the people it really wants to care about.Some people say that independent films write, direct, act and watch themselves.I think we need to add self-release.One sister saw “Raised from dust” twice.She said she did not know what to make of it the first time; Watching it the second time was completely different.She said to me, God will remember your hard work even if only one audience will see your film.
