The Chinese Communication University and USC have just completed their third year of making films together. This year Johanna Demetrakas lead a class of six partnerships, made up of one Chinese and one American student, as they documented a wide range of topics central to the idea of Los Angeles being a Global City. This Tuesday the newest batch of documentaries will be shown. The topics of the six short films range from Los Angeles gangs all the way to experimental films about gay marriage and toys. The cultural exchange between students definitely created a unique look at Los Angeles, and this batch of films is worth checking out.
