The Golden Jasmine Chinese Film Festival (GJCFF) is a new initiative aimed at introducing Chinese social, cultural and economic landscape to the American audiences through authentic Chinese films and interaction with filmmakers. Held in September with monthly screenings and open to the general public, the Festival is a collaboration between the US-China Institute and Confucius Institute at Bryant University, the Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF).
Thursday, October 21th, 7:00pm. The movie comically presents a generation known as China’s new little emperors through a foreigner’s perspective. When Howie Snyder goes to China to study standup comedy with a group of loveable 8 year olds, he does not only adapt to a new culture but also finds some unforgettable friends. He later returns and seeks out all his old friends. The classmates portray the drastic changes in China over those few years with changed homes, opinions, careers, and future dreams. Screening is free and open to the general public. Refreshments will be served.
