Short documentary focusing on a few of the artists living in Dafen, China. This village hosts both independent artist studios and fascimilie factories with various connections between the people working in them. The short documentary is subtitled in English (sometimes hard to read), but good production quality. Much of the conversation revolves around the tension between reproduction and originality, and the professional lives of working artists in the village.

Thank you for sharing, I would never have found this. It was inspiring and reminded me to not judge why other artists do the things that they do, that I don't know them. And I would never have guessed that (most) of them held such a passion for their own original artwork.
