导演阐述 Director Statement

《未来的花朵》讲述了很大部分中国酷儿群体的现实生活。特别是近些年来,政府激进的宣传催促着年轻人多生多育——生产”未来的花朵“。科技也加剧了一直以来的压迫与规范:这是一种既像过去又像未来的反乌托邦情境。

FUTURE FLOWERS reflects the realities of countless queer people in China. In recent years, state propaganda has aggressively urged young people to get pregnant—to produce the “future flowers.” Technology amplifies age-old oppression and norms, a situation that feels like a retro-future dystopia.
