Synopsis:
Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case dives into the aftermath of the artist’s 81-day solitary detention and his subsequent house arrest under charges of tax evasion—an incident he openly calls "The Fake Case". Surveillance cameras crowd his life as the documentary tracks his psychological struggle—insomnia, memory lapses, and state repression . Yet, through intimate camerawork, we witness Ai reclaiming his voice—crafting installations, playing with his child, and taunting watchers with self-portraits . His Venice Biennale work, S.A.C.R.E.D., transforms persecution into profound art. A stirring portrait of creativity as resistance under authoritarian scrutiny.
