Shot in Cambodia and borrowing the title and punk sensibility from Qiu Miaojin’s classic queer novel, Daphne Xu’s Notes of a Crocodile follows an unnamed woman who roams the streets of Phnom Penh in flux, encountering humans and animals in her search for a lost friend.
Daphne Xu is an artist and filmmaker exploring the politics and poetics of place. Her works unfurl from cities in flux; they are concerned with the interior lives of women and diasporic subjects caught in moments of rapid development. Her work has premiered at festivals including Toronto International Film Festival, Prismatic Ground, and Cinéma du Réel.
