Abstract
This is a documentary short about a rice basketmaker in Nandan County in Guangxi, China. Born in 1957, Li Guicai makes baskets in Huaili Village, a Baiku Yao community. As a teen, he split bamboo for a local basketmaker and learned the trade through watching the older artisan work. Mr. Li now weaves for family and friends and to sell in the village. He specializes in making baskets to hold sticky rice.
The documentary was shot and edited by Jon Kay, with a Canon 90D DSLR Camera and a Rode stereo microphone.
