Film and Lecture – Morning Sun: A Psychological History of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution
Carma Hinton
Friday, 22 Apr 2005 at 7:00 pm – Gerdin Auditorium
Carma Hinton is a director and producer with the Long Bow Group. Her film is a unique look at the origins and history of the Cultural Revolution (c. 1964-1976), the seminal event of contemporary Chinese experience. By presenting a "daily life history" of the Cultural Revolution and its progress through unique documentary footage, feature films, revolutionary operas, songs and music, and an archive of posters and everyday objects, diaries, correspondence and study notes made by participants in this revolution, the film provides immediate access to an important period of contemporary Chinese history and culture.
