about:
I'm seducible
in the midst of things that seem like love . . .
in the midst of things that might be love
In the mid-1980s, thousands of Chinese came to study in the United States . . .
One was Shi-Wei.
For a young artist from China, San Francisco is aglow with chance, and Shi-Wei recasts her life in the new openness she finds in the West. She surrenders herself to sensual curiosity with Jeffery, a Caucasian. But what about her longing for Da-Hai, her boyfriend in China . . . who impulsively decides to come to America. As she embraces one intimate tie and resumes another, Shi-Wei is entwined in the clutter of love and need.
.
I'm seducible is a "motion-portrait" of a woman's reality and thoughts, a visual memoir of her search for love or her search for herself in others. It's the story of her haunted balancing act . . . life moving one way, mind floating another. Shi-Wei is absorbed in distant emotions, always daydreaming of past moments in China. But her immersion isn't an indulgence or a disconnection between mind and reality. Inaction implodes in action as Shi-Wei pulls toward a grain suspended within: the nourishment of memories and dreams.
. . . .
Shi-Wei is played by Chinese superstar Qu Ying. I'm seducible is 76-minutes long. It was filmed on
location in San Francisco and Beijing in 35mm and mixed in Dolby Digital and Dolby SR.
