Video Screening Event in Huangpu Village
Tomorrow Thursday night is our video screening event at Huangpu village. Two weeks ago students from my video class started projects to created various video projects to document and narrate the life and history of Huangpu village. Huangpu village is about to have its fifth redevelopment. My friend Wang Ge is one of the main designer in this redevelopment and with him we initiated this project. The screening will take place in an ancient hall in the village from the Qing Dynasty called Hu Shi Zong Ci. We have invited villagers, students in the university and designers from the redevelopment studio. The planning of the whole event is less than two weeks, so everyone is pretty excited but little nervous at the same time. (Please don’t rain that night!)
It is the first time for most of my students to make documentary videos, and hopefully this first time will have them realize the digital media they are using can be history making tool.
