The two faces of China, one modern and fast paced the other seeped in tradition. It was filmed in the temples, on the streets and among the farmers and fishermen of Shanghai, Wuhan, Changsha and Guanzhou.

'four and five' was filmed over ten days in the cities of Shanghai, Wuhan, Changsha and Guangzhou. Each city has its own flavour and distinct identity, but also vibrant relics from the past. Behind the steel and glass of the modern China, can easily be found the temples and pagodas, the fields and fishing nets so synonymous with the country. The two live cheek by jowl. In the film I have tried to capture this essence, the heady aroma of incense contrasting with the fumes and noise of the traffic, trains and aircraft all the time reflecting back to the contemplative nature of water, prayer and meditation.
