Founded in 2017, DDREDfilmlab is the first laboratory dedicated to analog-film research in mainland China. Founder Taishan and initiator Shile Feng are both visual artists based in Beijing.
Our mission is to create a platform where film-makers can freely explore the largest possibility of working with analog film freely across China. We want to popularize the knowledge about analog film and invite researchers, artists, or anyone who’s passionate about image-making to gather to share their ideas and inspiration. We dedicate ourselves to building archive collections, providing research and screening opportunities, leading educational programs and workshops, organizing artistic residencies, and more.
With a much-seen presence of the use of analog film throughout the history of China, we connect with professional networks around the world by discovering the beauty of the analog film.
