Career
Xiaogang's first feaure film, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains, closed the 58th edition of the Critics' Week at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.[2]
During the filming of his first feature, he discovered that a family member had fallen victim to a fraudulent pyramid scheme, which became the catalyst for his second film, Dwelling by the West Lake.[3]
In 2023, Dwelling by the West Lake was shortlisted for the Akira Kurosawa Award at the 36th Tokyo International Film Festival.[4]
His feature, Spring Comes Along, was the main promotional film at the 14th Beijing International Film Festival.[5]
