...An adaptation of a good book (series like frank Herbert's)... ? there is more of course
If ever there was a subjective question, then it would be this one. To analyse what exactly makes a good film arguably takes away from the magic of films themselves. Everyone will agree that films are one of the most loved things on Earth and one only must look at how much money the industry rakes in to see this in numbers. The allure of films was almost instantaneous following the bir...

A gentle but gorgeously photographed short documentary, QUIETLY seems to offer some correctives to current tales of social or humanitarian injustices within the vast lands of China. A handful of artlessly handled interviews with hard-working women from the distant province of Xinjiang reveal a country where the traditional and contemporary ways of life seem to blend smoothly, even successfully.
A dutiful daughter is packing cotton for despatch, picked in the enormous fiel...

Benoit Lelievre: director
Huaqing Jin: co-director
Ripples is a documentary short that focuses on how trade restrictions on cotton from Xinjiang since 2020 has affected four women who have lived in Yiwu, China for the past several years. They were born in Xinjiang and moved to Yiwu and with members of their families run their own business. In their stories they express a longing for Xinjiang and its natural resources, an autonomous region in China where 80% of the country&...
RIPPLES by Benoit Lelievre offers a cogent interpretation of their lifes by some women who have spent several years in Yiwu City in the Zhejiang Province of China settling there coming from the landlocked Xinjiang autonomous Uyghur province where Uyghurs and Han Chinese live together.
Also popular as a foreign tourist destination it has lately drawn international media attention to its cotton industry boycott by some Western countries.&nbs...
RIPPLES is film about Muslim women of Xinjiang, who now live in Yiwu, and how they miss their homeland.
While China is universally acknowledged as a military and economic super-power, prejudices and misconceptions about the country’s internal matters abound. One such contentious issue is the plight of the Uyghur (Uighur) Muslims, who form a large part of the population of its Xinjiang province, in the north-west, an autonomous region, like Tibet. It is bordered by the Chinese province...
