Tang Yi was born and raised in Fuzhou, China. She moved to Hong Kong for college to study accounting. During her studies, she discovered her passion for the arts and initially pursued a career in music. After graduation, she landed a record deal with Universal Hong Kong as a singer-songwriter. She released her debut EP Seriously in 2015 and peaked on Hong Kong iTunes chart during the release week. In 2016, she applied to NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a music video and was awarded a scholarship. In 2021, her second short film, All the Crows in the World, won the Short Film Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Tang Yi considers herself a cinema nomad. She is a recent participant at La Residence du Festival in Paris, along with the Torino ScriptLab and Berlinale Script Station. Her Yi’s works focus on telling stories about women, underrepresented groups, and social issues. She captures these themes through a subversive, darkly comedic film lens, which is a signature style of hers.
