Event
The Road to Fame (at DCIFF 2014)
A rare, intimate look at the coming-of-age of some of China's most promising yet confused youth as we follow the rehearsal process of the graduating class at China's top drama academy staging 'Fame' the musical, China's first official collaboration with Broadway.
Directed by Hao Wu China / 2013 / 80mins
"A showcase performance of "Fame" at Beijing's prestigious Central Academy of Drama turns into a portrait of the first generation affected by China's one-child policy in "The Road to Fame," Hao Wu's documentary about the first China-Broadway collaboration. These students simultaneously "spoiled" and under tremendous pressure, raised in relative affluence but embodying all their parents' hopes and fears bring different levels of emotional baggage to the desperate-to-make-it ethos belted out over the course of the show. Empathetic pic could click with assorted TV auds, including China watchers, musical-theater aficionados and connoisseurs of cross-cultural phenomena." Variety
Screens with: No Strangers directed by Steven Kochones (USA/2012/27mins); Pas directed by Charli Brissi and Courtney Harris (USA/2013/3mins). Goethe Institut.
