"Morning Sun" Film Screening October 3, 2008

"Gripping, relentlessly tragic retelling of life in revolutionary times."
- Hua Hsu, Village Voice

Chinese Culture Center Cinema (C4) is happy to present “Morning Sun” (2003), a documentary by filmmaker Carma Hinton. The film attempts to create an inner history of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (c.1964-1976). It provides a multi-perspective view of a tumultuous period as seen through the eyes – and reflected in the hearts and minds – of members of the high-school generation that was born around the time of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, and that came of age in the 1960s. The film essays a psychological history, attempting a cinematic account of experiences and emotions represented by the people, events and ardor of the period.

This film is 117 minutes long, and will be shown in English.
