Project summary
THROUGH CHINESE EYES gets into China in a way you’ve never
seen before. In an ambitious collaboration between Chinese and Western
filmmakers this multi-platform series will be a snapshot of China
that embraces the rich diversity of China from a uniquely Chinese
perspective. Using Chinese directors and crews we get to the heart
of a China unknown to the West. A central character will provide
the narrative spine of each half-hour programme. Each story is not
be just a descriptive "exposition" but a true narrative
that reaches a dramatic conclusion. The narratives will be simple
and taken from life challenges. The unfolding narratives will result
in a story that gives the audience an insight into what it means
to be alive today in China. There will be six filmmakers. Each director
will have a direct personal connection to the story s/he tells.
Either it will be their own story or the story of someone close
to them.
Be it pandas or astronauts, mega-engineering projects or environmental
catastrophe, miracle drugs or economic miracles, China is never
out of the news. Yet for all the noise about China, it is rare to
hear the authentic voice of China. THROUGH CHINESE EYES is an ambitious
attempt to give the international audience a unique insight into
the life of modern China. Conceived as a multi-platform project
THROUGH CHINESE EYES will embrace television, the internet and mobile
telephony. Mobile phone originated diaries will be woven into conventional
filming to provide a unique documentary experience.
