"My Beijing Birthday" takes a heartfelt and humorous look at the rapidly changing lives of a group of young Beijingers through the eyes of a New Yorker, Howie Snyder. The story shows us the group as 8-year-olds in 1996 studying Chinese stand-up comedy with Howie and their teacher Mrs. Ma. We visit the group again in 2008 as they relect on their lives and their new dreams for the future. The screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Howie Snyder.
