Nov 20 and 27 Campus Creative Channel Screenings



The information on these Campus Creative Channel screenings is only in Chinese (and my Cantonese reading skills are much worse than my speaking ones), but Steven Pang of HKICC says:

"It's the resulting video works of two successive parts of a media education pilot scheme, with 10 participating schools, around 15 artists and responsible teachers... These schools wish to learn to run their own campus TV and ways to develop content (since they did not know what to do with the equipment the schools own).

There will be some 20-30-minute Campus TV program (from the leadership program). And many 1 minuters from the artist-in-residence section. The artists will show their "responding" video works also. Four programs should be all different. Details will be available on the website later, IN CHINESE again :-p"

La Chinoise
Dir: Jean-Luc Godard
Year: 1967
Runtime: 93 Min.

Review from TimeOut:
Godard's brilliant dialectical farce, distinctly disquieting as well as gratingly funny, in which five Parisian students, members of a Maoist cell, discuss the implications of the Chinese cultural revolution and the chances of using terrorism to effect a similar upheaval in the West. Dazzlingly designed as a collage of slogans and poster images, it was widely attacked at the time for playing with politics. But Godard was well aware what he was doing creating these 'Robinson Crusoes with Marxism as their Man Friday', and his film stands as a prophetic and remarkably acute analysis of the impulse behind the events of May 1968 in all their desperate sincerity and impossible naïveté.
