Synopsis
Red Art delves into the posters during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and how they were used as a propaganda. To uncover the meaning of the posters, it interviews former painters and Red Guards, and researchers and collectors at home and abroad.
Red Art is the second documentary after the documentary makers' Painting for the Revolution: The Peasants Painters of Hu County, which documents how folk art was transformed by political campaigns, and records the artists’ memories of this unusual period of history.
