After graduating from the Beijing Film Academy in 1982, directors
like Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou transformed Chinese cinema with
"Farewell My Concubine," "Yellow Earth," "Raise the Red Lantern,"
and other international successes. "Memoirs from the Beijing Film
Academy" tells the riveting story of this class of 1982, China's
famous "Fifth Generation" of filmmakers. It is the first insider's
account of this renowned cohort to appear in English. Covering
these directors' formative experiences during China's tumultuous
Cultural Revolution and later at the Beijing Film Academy, Ni
Zhen--who was both their screenwriter and teacher--provides unique
insights into the origins of the Fifth Generation's creativity.
Drawing on his personal knowledge and interviews conducted
especially for this volume, Ni Zhen demonstrates the diversity of
the Fifth Generation. He comments on the breadth of styles and
themes explored by its members and introduces a range of male and
female directors, cinematographers, and production designers famous
in China but less well-known internationally. The book contains
vivid descriptions of the production processes of two pioneering
films--"One and Eight" and "Yellow Earth."
