Xiaolu's work has been screened at local theaters and film festivals on occupied dakota land, including TPT, Walker Art Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Cinema Lounge, Pangea World Theater, Feminist Video Quarterly, friend's pop up restaurant and international film festivals.
She believes that examining the interior world brings us closer to collective liberation, it is her aspiration to stay open to the Way.
Xiaolu was born a few hours before her favorite author, 三毛 (San Mao) died by suicide. She was raised by her grandparents 王玉明和吕凤英 until the biggest transition of her life brought her from northwestern China to the occupied land of the U.S.. She sometimes freezes mid-sentence in front of a crowd. Her yoga master would call it vata imbalance. There’s no explanation to this mystery. She chose filmmaking, or rather, filmmaking chose her to hold remembrance, to witness people through time, to expose hypocrisy and irresolvable conflicts, and allowing her to dance with the mysteries of life on the path of excavating for truthtelling. Along with her grandparents, literature, music, and cinema also raised her through lost times. She likes a good challenge when it comes to making the invisible visible. She believes that examining the interior world brings us closer to collective liberation, it is her aspiration to stay open to the Way. Besides film work, she also practices writing and her mother tongue through translating.
