Bio
Born in the Uyghur Autonomous Region of China on the Gobi Desert, Luo Jian {pronounced: LwOr-TSian} is a visual storyteller whose work is driven by a desire to explore versions of the world unseen. She graduated with an MFA degree in Film Directing from NYU. Her short film 'What Do You Know About the Water and the Moon' tells a magical realist story about a young woman who gives birth to a jellyfish during an attempted abortion. Premiering at the 2019 Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival, it screened at over 40 top tier festivals including BFI London Film Festival (best short nomination), Palm Springs International ShortFest (best live-action film), Stockholm International Film Festival (Aluminum Horse), Pendance Film Festival (Jury Award), before it launched the NOWNESS Asia platform in June 2020. Jian is the recipient of the Ang Lee grant, the Hollywood Foreign Press Award, and the "artist in residence" program at Palm Springs International Film Festival. In between her directing work, Jian provides professional and artistic advice to grad film students at the School of Visual Arts as a guest lecturer. Luo Jian divides her time between New York, London and Beijing.
