The City Breathes: Documenting Beijing's Independent Music and Film

Laura Li ’18 and Yan Yu ’18 will spend January filming a documentary on the contemporary youth scene that focuses on the emergence of independent music and films in Beijing, China. They will interview local Beijing musicians and filmmakers, and document the artists’ lives, including challenges and accomplishments.  Both Li and Yu hope this documentary will help shed light on youth culture and current art trends in Beijing.
