Davey Davis of the Utah Film Center and Chinese-American filmmaker Nanfu Wang on I Am Another You, a documentary in which Wang follows a young drifter she meets on the streets in Florida. Fascinated by his choice and rejection of society’s rules, Nanfu follows Dylan with her camera on a journey that takes her across America and explores the meaning of freedom – and its limits.
- ONE NIGHT ONLY: The Utah Film Center will hold a free screening of I Am Another You Tuesday, Jan. 30, 7 p.m. at the Salt Lake City Library, 210 E. 400 S., SLC. John Olsen, Dylan's father and a police officer, will be there for a post-film Q&A.
