Art College 1994
Sharp-toothed yet loose-limbed…a perfect balance of humor, thoughtfulness and heart.

Art College 1994
Art College 1994 is a portrait of youth set on the campus of the Chinese Southern Academy of Arts in the early 1990s. Against the backdrop of reforms opening China to the Western world, a group of college students live in full swing as they take their first steps into adulthood, where love and friendships are intertwined with artistic pursuits, ideals and ambitions. Caught between tradition and modernity, they now have to choose who they want to become.
“A gently meandering deadpan slice of comic-sad social realism somewhere in the region of Eric Rohmer wistful romances, Richard Linklater ensemble stories, and Sixth Generation semi-underground Chinese filmmakers like Jia Zhangke.” - Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter
