In Distribution
This new series will provide in-depth portraits of ten individuals from China’s Generation X, a social group unlike any other in Chinese history. They come from across China’s sprawling landscape, from vast neon-lit cities, to ramshackle provincial towns and remote villages. Some live on the cutting edge of this new world, while others seem to have been left behind. Together their stories of success and desperation put a human face on China’s breathtaking transformation.
The first film in this series is expected to be released in 2008, in time for the Beijing Olympics. Follow-up films on these same individuals will be released every five years through 2024.
Young and Restless in China recently received several awards:
From the Chicago International Film Festival Hugo Television Awards: the Silver Plaque
From the Telly Awards: the Bronze Telly
From the Us International Film and Video Festival: the Gold Camera
The film has also become an official selection of the Rhode Island International Film Festival.
