Academy Tianjin is this haunting 52-minute silent documentary that really gets under your skin. The way it captures the dilapidated halls of the Tianjin Academy of Fine Art is something else. The use of a Steadicam creates this smooth, almost dreamlike flow through the empty studios and corridors. You can feel the weight of abandonment in every frame, with remnants of past artistic endeavors just lying around. It’s got this eerie, unsettling vibe that lingers long after watching. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to absorb the atmosphere fully. There's no dialogue to guide you, which feels both liberating and disorienting. It's definitely a unique piece for anyone interested in the interplay of art, decay, and memory.
