Her work has been presented at many international film festivals, including IDFA, Beijing International Short Film Festival, The 10th edition of VISIO European Programme on Artist's Moving Images, Seoul International Pride Film Festival, Videoex, Fragments Festival, etc. Thematically, her oeuvre tackles various political and sociological issues. She draws from her own experiences while maintaining a compassionate outlook, which seeks to illustrate the nuances within every interpersonal relationship depicted on-screen. Chongyan has worked on a multitude of video art/experimental documentary pieces before writing & directing two short-fiction films: The Harryian Theory and Speak in a Whisper. Her MFA graduation show in Paris deals with the delicate subject of the suicide of a trans woman to whom Chongyan was a friend. Chongyan is currently focused on the overlapping nature of video art and film, hoping to combine these mediums of moving images well into the future. Chongyan's multidisciplinary approach to filmmaking ensures that her work constantly challenges the preconceived notions of the practice.
