Award-winning filmmaker Yung Chang (Up the Yangtze) returns to China for another riveting documentary on the country’s ever-changing economic landscape—this time through the lens of sports.
In China Heavyweight, Chang follows the charismatic Qi Moxiang, a former boxing star and state coach who recruits young fighting talent from the impoverished farms and villages across Sichuan province. A select few boys (and girls) are sent to national training centers, with the hope of discovering China’s next Olympic heroes. But will these potential boxing champions leave it all behind to be the next Mike Tyson? Their rigorous training, teenage trials and family tribulations are expertly intertwined with Coach Qi’s own desire to get back in the ring for one more shot at victory. Cinematically rich and intimately observed, China Heavyweight all at once provides a thrilling sports drama, astute social commentary and a beautifully crafted portrait of an athlete.
In 2014 we warmly welcome back Asian Cinema Week into the JUE | Film program. In 2013 Asian Cinema Week was a bold call to cinematic arms. Including feature films, documentaries and shorts from all over Asia (alongside live music, panels and various other interactive events), the inaugural edition carved out a space where local filmmakers and fans alike could collide, share ideas and develop their works. Asian Cinema Week is an outstanding platform for exposing the best of Asian underground cinema.

关于《觉》音乐＋艺术节：
《觉》音乐＋艺术节是由Split Works发起并制作，每年在上海、北京双城齐发的年度音乐＋艺术巨献。2014年即将六岁的《觉》，一直致力于彰显这两座城市中最了不起的本土创意团体，以及来自于世界各地的优秀艺术家和他们无与伦比的作品。最难能可贵的是《觉》是一个注重“圈子”的平台，每年都会有风格各异的音乐人和艺术家加入到《觉》的大家庭，而《觉》就如同调和剂一般把不同的色彩搅拌均匀，使城市、音乐、艺术还有身在其中的人们之都能够融为一体，在不知不“觉”中编织属于自己的艺术篇章。
