In this unique screening, Ai Weiwei presents all 52 films made by and about him over the course of 20 years, and all of which are censored in China.
From Ai Weiwei: “My films cannot be shown in China, where my name cannot be freely published or mentioned online and where the authorities have tried to erase my identity. Expressing oneself is a fundamental part of being human. To be deprived of a voice is to be told you are not a participant in society; ultimately it is to deny you your humanity.
Why do those in power censor? Because they perceive certain ideas as subversive. This may be true, and this shows us the power of the individual’s voice. Art represents our instincts and sensitivities which cannot be so clearly defined or controlled. As such, it carries an element of danger because it is unpredictable. If we lose this, it would be a true loss for humanity, because we would no longer understand who we are; we would lose our perspective.”

The story of the film "Ai Weiwei: Yours Truly" begins with the remarkable exhibition @Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz, organized in 2014 by director Cheryl Haines, founder of San Francisco’s FOR-SITE Foundation. Following Ai Weiwei’s detention at the hands of the Chinese authorities, the outspoken artist and activist transformed the former island penitentiary of Alcatraz into an artistic platform. The resulting exhibition engaged nearly 900,000 visitors in a conversation about the plight of prisoners of conscience around the world.
The 22nd UNAFF (United Nations Association Film Festival) from October 17-27, 2019 Palo Alto, East Palo Alto, San Francisco and Stanford University celebrates the power of documentary films dealing with human rights issues, the environment, racism, health, women’s issues, universal education, war and peace. The theme for this year is “SCALES OF JUSTICE”.
