Monthlong “Hidden China” Series at Jacob Burns Center Starts October 4

The Jacob Burns Center and dGenerate films presents a monthlong series curated by producer Zhu Rikun, one of the best known figures in Chinese independent cinema.

Curated by Zhu Rikun, a major figure in China’s independent film world, this is a very special look at a group of uncompromising movies that reveal a China we might not otherwise see. Zhu, filmmaker Wang Wo, and other members of the Chinese independent film world will join us for screenings and discussion.

“This is a look behind the scenes, an uncensored and uncompromising vision of one of the most dynamic and rich cultures on earth, but one that remains largely hidden for most of us behind the high walls of language and distance and official censorship. It’s a very rare opportunity to see these unflinching films guided by our latest international Fellows: Zhu Rikun, one of the most influential producers of independent Chinese Cinema, and Wang Wo, a celebrated documentarian." - Brian Ackerman, JBFC Programing Director.
