The Memory Project Reception with Filmmakers of "Self-Portrait"

Join us for a reception with The Memory Project filmmakers. Screening of ¿Self-portrait¿ (2013, 77 mins.) by Zhang Mengqi to follow.This October, Duke will be hosting Chinese documentary filmmaker Wu Wenguang and three of his fellow documentarians for a two-week residency and the launch of a new digital oral history collection. Wu Wenguang is one of the founding figures of the Chinese independent documentary film movement. His groundbreaking debut film, Bumming in Beijing (1990), portrayed with unscripted candor the disillusionment of five young Chinese artists in the wake of the Tiananmen Square student protests in 1989.
