Born and raised in Hong Kong, Pok Chi Lau has lived in the United States since he went to America and Canada to study. Since the age of 17, over the past 50 years, Mr. Lau has followed the path of Chinese ancestors, covering 36 countries and regions in Asia, North America, South America and Africa. First of all, this conversation was curious about Pok Chi Lau's own life course, why and how he became a member of the discrete Chinese, and how he felt and understood the specific situation of being an immigrant in this process; As a documentary photographer, how did he lead himself to watch, discover and record, and how did he finally establish ties with the photographer and the shooting place?
The dialogue will begin with the screening of Cuban Chinese (2009). This is a documentary film directed by Pok Chi Lau. It is an extremely moving exception among Pok Chi Lau's thousands of shooting objects.
出生和成长于香港，在前往美加求学之后，刘博智在美国生活至今。从17岁开始，在过去的五十多年间，刘老师循着华人先辈走过的路径，足迹遍布亚洲、北美洲、南美洲和非洲的36个国家和地区。这场对谈首先是对于刘博智老师自身生命历程的好奇，他是因何又如何成为离散华人当中的一员，如何在这个过程中感受和领悟身为移民的具体处境；而作为一名纪实摄影师，他又是如何引领着自己去观看、发现和记录，又最终怎样与拍摄者和拍摄地建立起千丝万缕的联系？
对谈将以《古巴唐人》（2009）的放映作为开场。该片是刘博智导演的一部纪录电影，在刘博智成千上万的拍摄对象中，是一个极其动人的例外。
