This multi-campus, six-film series aims to bring to students, scholars and the general public in the Greater Atlanta area recent representative works of this exciting cultural phenomenon. All films are free and open to the public.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EShowcasing formal explorations in fiction, documentary, essay film, and even poetic film, this series delves into palpable personal realms of experience and consciousness in taking up history, memory and reality, covering, for example, the legal practice in a small town, the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan Province, the loss of myth, tradition and poetry in Ningxia Province, the inner journey of an abused teenage girl in Hunan Province, and most recently, the suggestive media surfaces and (sur)realities enveloping the southwest megalopolis of Chongqing that was famously caught in a strange chasm between socialism and capitalism. The films invite their audiences not only to experience these new sights and sounds from China but also to participate in the observing and thinking process that these independent visions set in motion.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe film series is sponsored and presented by the following organizations:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EChina Research Center (CRC, \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.chinacenter.net\u0022 title=\u0022www.chinacenter.net\u0022\u003Ewww.chinacenter.net\u003C\/a\u003E)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech--the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts and the School of Literature, Media, and Communication\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEmory University--Department of Film and Media, Department of Anthropology, Confucius Institute\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia State University--Department of Communication, Confucius Institute\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EKennesaw State University--Asian Studies Program and Student Organization of Asian Studies\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ctable width=\u0022548\u0022 border=\u00220\u0022 cellspacing=\u00220\u0022 cellpadding=\u00220\u0022\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd colspan=\u00222\u0022 valign=\u0022top\u0022 width=\u0022443\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd valign=\u0022top\u0022 width=\u0022221\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/td\u003E\u003Ctd valign=\u0022top\u0022 width=\u0022221\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd valign=\u0022top\u0022 width=\u0022221\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/td\u003E\u003Ctd valign=\u0022top\u0022 width=\u0022221\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Curated by Qi Wang, Assistant Professor LMC"}],"field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27725","created_gmt":"2013-01-24 16:55:27","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:13:29","author":"Carol Senf","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2013-01-24T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2013-01-24T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"186651":{"id":"186651","type":"image","title":"Qi Wang","body":null,"created":"1449179090","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:44:50","changed":"1475894833","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:47:13","alt":"Qi Wang","file":{"fid":"196167","name":"img_6.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/img_6_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/img_6_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":28065,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/img_6_0.jpg?itok=iD5gqi6B"}},"186681":{"id":"186681","type":"image","title":"Independent Chinese Film Flyer 2","body":null,"created":"1449179090","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:44:50","changed":"1475894833","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:47:13","alt":"Independent Chinese Film Flyer 2","file":{"fid":"196168","name":"color_flier_independent_chinese_film_series2.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/color_flier_independent_chinese_film_series2_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/color_flier_independent_chinese_film_series2_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":453737,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/color_flier_independent_chinese_film_series2_0.jpg?itok=_z2kl34q"}}},"media_ids":["186651","186681"],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"56351","name":"Asian film"},{"id":"802","name":"China"},{"id":"2402","name":"film"},{"id":"56361","name":"independent film"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":["qi.wang@lmc.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
