----/ The Squid List /-------------------------------------------------- Beijing Undergorund Film Series: Ox Hide by Liu Jiayin
Thursday, June 8 7 pm and 9 pm $8 regular, $5 students, seniors and teachers, $5 YBCA members ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- Beneath mainstream cinema exists an exploding independent digital video scene in urban Beijing. This work is not generally publicly distributed or exhibited in its home country. Fiercely independent, the work provides a unique, unofficial window to the study and understanding of contemporary China. Ox Hide by Liu Jiayin (2005, 110 min, video) Thu, Jun 8, 7 pm & 9 pm "The tension between 'reality' and artifice pushes the film into darker and more troubling psychological areas than cinéma-vérité has ever reached." -Tony Rayns, London Film Festival Already widely recognized as one of the most innovative Chinese films in years, Ox Hide is a tour-de-force by young director Liu Jiayin. Shot entirely in her family's tiny apartment, Liu and her parents play themselves. The film, however, is entirely scripted and designed with unflinching rigor. Liu stages 23 static shots, her DV camera creating a claustrophobic, closed universe. The multiple award- winning work shows how formal experimentation can coexist with engrossing human drama and powerful emotion. ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (Screening Room) 701 Mission Street San Francisco 415.978.ARTS (2787) www.ybca.org ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 415.978.ARTS (2787) ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com art, culture and technology from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small organizations The Squid List is licensed under a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/
