China's 3Dreams

 

china's dreams

In the 1970s we had only 3 dreams: a watch, a wireless and a bicycle...’ A parable of China in the twenty-first century: eleven years inside the people's dreams and dilemmas.
From a thousand year old village in southwest China, a young woman searches for a meaningful existence. This leads her deep into China’s hidden history - a fractured line that runs just beneath the surface of contemporary life. She discovers that her generation’s images of their country’s history are false… Confused by the expurgated history they learned at school and the silence of their grandparents, China’s young people are making their way with three new dreams to guide them: the dream of the present, to make China rich and powerful, the dream of the future, to find a better life; and the almost-impossible dream of the past, the dream of meaningful existence. China’s 3Dreams takes us deep inside the present dilemmas and dreams of China’s people - without mediation from Western presenters or narrators. Featuring rare archive and extraordinary testimony from former Red Guards and Rebels, here is a powerful parable of China in the twenty-first century.

The FISDN present film series focused on different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes.
