THE LONGEST WAY is an endurance film with a twist. Christoph Rehage tells the story of his 1000 mile walk across China over mountains and blazing hot deserts in a captivating time-lapse montage made up of 1,400 self-portraits with the timeline and emotion conveyed by his beard and hair growth. The people and landscapes in the background of each shot provide a colourful portrayal of the interior of this enormous yet little explored country. UK FESTIVAL PREMIERE
