Where
We are proud to announce that as part of MoMA’s 10th Annual Documentary Fortnight, there will be a spotlight on independent Chinese Cinema.Avant-garde dancer Li Ning documents five years of his struggle to balance life as a choreographer with a dance troupe of committed college students, and his responsibilities as a son, husband, and father. Li Ning’s life becomes intertwined with the film and with his own obsessions; his life before the camera is driven and chaotic, a public platform and a confessional. Loosely chronological and rife with symbolism, the film is a riveting portrait of an artist’s attempts at expression and conflicts with societal norms. Chinese Independent Cinema. Tape shatters documentary conventions, utilizing a variety of approaches, including guerilla documentary, experimental street video, even CGI.
In Chinese; English subtitles. 168 min.
There is one screening on Feb 20 2011 at 4:00PM and another on Feb 23 2011 at 5:00PM.
Cost:
$10 for adults, $8 for seniors, $6 for students with current ID, free for children 16 and under, free for members, and $5 for guests of members
