I love the first line of this article about the film industry in China and I am interested to see these films, particularly because of the 'experimental technique' described in the article. I think film is a powerful medium to disseminate information and tell a story and it will be interesting to what stories and angles the Chinese filmmakers have or emphasise.
As a group they give a new and truer meaning to the phrase “independent film."

*Kick-ass
Not what I was expecting at all!!
Quite honestly, I was expecting a light-hearted, comedic, indie-type film along the lines of Juno or Super Bad.
What I got was a violent, graphic, twisted movie about senseless killings and awkward nerdy kids. And I watched it on Christmas Day. When it was dark and stormy outside. Needless to say, I did not feel warm and fuzzy - I felt very surprised that a 9 yr old girl was cursing up a storm and killing people without any fear or remorse. I guess she'll grow up to a strong, independent Barnard woman...
I only wish I had known the plot of this movie then I think I would have enjoyed it more. As GI Joe used to say, knowing is half the battle.
