This exhibition will break with traditional photo festivals, which only use photography as media. The exhibition will be divided into two parts. The first one is titled 'Lianzhou Report'. In this part we will exhibit two photographers' personal observations of Lianzhou and show newsreels composed of four parts to reveal the situation of Lianzhou.
