The film "Stone City on the Cloud" focuses on a stone city of the Naxi people in Yunnan, telling the twisted and touching story of the Musilong family. The film differs from other minority films of the period in that the director tries to break through the traditional patterns of these subjects and find a new path for the merging and compatibility of modern culture and traditional minority culture. This paper explores the film through the integration of the subjectivity of the "other", the transformation of "community consciousness" and "spectralization", using Grimes' "meta-model of action" theory.
