Beijing Punk - Shaun Jefford
The underground punk music scene in China centers around a Beijing club called D-22, a magnet and a cross roads for young Chinese musicians with the urge to rebel. This enthrallingfeature-length documentary reveals a hidden world throbbing and thrashing below the surface of the state-controlled Chinese media. Taking a small film crew, Australian filmmaker ShaunJefford tracks this subterranean music scene through the back alleys and streets of Beijing. Subject to state suspicion, punk rock in China should not exist at all, but it emerges in this film as an explosive and vibrant counterculture. 2010; 71 min.
