Seven Intellectuals in a Bamboo Forest

FREE SCREENINGS

Yang Fudong’s films are about young urban intellectuals coming to terms with their ambiguous position in contemporary China, their desire for individual freedom in the shifting context of an emerging capitalist economy. Seven Intellectuals focuses on a group of rebellious scholars and artists, who according to tradition, rejected the lessons of Confucianism, which taught that public commitment brought virtue. This group of sages rejects bureaucratic position preferring to lead a life of seclusion.
