NEWS: New Generation: Chinese

Cinéphilia West are staging an event spread across four evenings (27th-30th May 2010), entitled New Generation: Chinese. The event will “showcase of some of the latest and most innovative and exciting films made by the young generation Chinese filmmakers.”

In a series of four screenings (featuring documentaries, animations, fictions and experimental videos), the event intends to present a new vision of contemporary China, under the themes of 'Absurdity And Reality', 'Lost In Now? - Dream, Memory And Fantasy', 'Merging Fiction And Documentary?', and 'Searching For Identity'.

“The young film talents are mostly born and grown up in post-socialist China, and they take a more personal and even first-person approach representing Chinese social reality.” Among the showcased films, many are best selections from the Chongqing Independent Film And Video Festival, China.

The event will be presented by the London-based Magic Cube, which curates and programmes contemporary Chinese independent film and video works. “Promoting international collaborations and exchange between China and abroad, Magic Cube represents emerging innovative young generation film/video makers, mostly born in post-socialist China.”
