Documentaries for Community Service
Spokesperson: Shi Lihong
Organization: WildChina Film
E-mail: wildchina@163.net
Documentaries have long been considered as an art form. In China, because of the limitations imposed by production costs and broadcast media, documentary film has been a less accessible, slightly highbrow medium of expression. WildChina Film’s mission is to bring documentaries to the people, for the people. By explaining the shooting, production and screening of a documentary, the spokesperson will introduce the new concept of ‘participatory screening’.
