*CubeMagic and Cinéphilia West* are delighted to host an event spread across
four evenings, *New Generation: Contemporary Independent Chinese Film. *
*It is a showcase of some of the latest and most exciting films made by
young generation Chinese filmmakers. In a series of four
screenings: documentaries, animations, narrative short film and experimental
films, this event presents a new vision of contemporary China, under the
themes of 'Absurdity and Reality', 'Lost in 'Now? - dream, memory and
fantasy', 'Bridging Fiction and Documentary?', and 'Searching for Identity
'.*
Most of the young film talents were born and grew 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
highlights from the Chongqing Independent Film and Video Festival, China
(CIFVF).
The event will be presented by Independent Filmmaker and Programmer Tianqi
Yu, and the London based *CubeMagic* (www.cubemagic.org) which curates and
programmes contemporary Chinese independent film and video works. Promoting
international collaborations and exchange between China and abroad, *
CubeMagic* represents emerging innovative young generation film/video
makers, mostly born in post-socialist China.
