November 16 – Double Happiness (Ella Reidel, 2014, Austria/China), and selected shorts

Double Happiness takes the Chinese copy of Hallstatt, a small idyllic town in Austria, as a starting point to explore China's fast urbanization. Chinese cities are built where histories and memories can be easily forgotten and thus rewritten. the film intersects the real and the fake through visual imaginary and commentary, interviews and songs.

Shorts programmed by Sayak Shome (UC) and Jing Xie (UC) include:

Las Vegas Portrait - Sam Green (2011) 15 minutes

A Cinematic Study of Fog in San Francisco - Sam Green (2013) 10 minutes

Sponsored by the UC Center for Film and Media Studies, the UC School of Planning, and the Mini Microcinema.
