Still from Beijing Ants
CHINESE FILMS AT SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL
June 4-15, 2014
From official website: China continues to be one of the most compulsively fascinating countries on the planet: it’s not an exaggeration to suggest that China’s future may very well be our future. Chinese movies lay out spellbinding ways to try to grasp that country’s complexities, its unfathomable beauty and its ongoing problems.
