25 February – 14.00hrs - Unseen China Independent documentary is arguably the most powerful means for Chinese filmmakers to capture and articulate the dramatic and profound changes sweeping the vast nation.
Rarely seen by western audiences, this selection of recent films describes the experiences of ordinary people which resonate across the world. Including an introduction and discussion with Chinese documentary professionals, this event will shed light on China's current reality and provide insights into traditional Chinese culture from a refreshing perspective.
Tide (Chao) captures China's traditional Spring Festival in 2008, when millions of people returning home faced the coldest winter in 100 years. My Four-Fen Land (Wo De Si Fen Di) portrays peasant life oblivious to world turbulence. Viewpoint (Guan Dian) illustrates the complexities of a labour market. Water and Land (Shui Shang An Shang) is a dramatic portrait of a young woman struggling to realise her dreams. Brave Father (Fu Qin) narrates the heart-rending efforts of a parent to support his son's future.
Introduced by Jingjing Xie (former film programmer for the Guangzhou International Documentary Festival, and film curator, China Culture Connect) and Xuhua Zhan (art curator, China Culture Connect).
Starring Hong Kong icon Chow Yun Fat, it features exquisitely colour- coded set design and costumes, impressive wide-screen spectacle and superb battle sequences.
With an introduction on Saturday 4 February. Screened in partnership with Filming East Festival and China Film Promotion International.
The story follows the relationship between a 40-something man and his family's amah, who has been in their employ for 60 years.
After she suffers a stroke, they reverse roles and he looks after her. Working with an excellent script and cast (Deanie Ip won the Best Actress award at Venice), Hui combines elements of satire, rich characterisation and several amusing star cameos.
