Beijing Bubbles - Punk and Rock in China's Capital

Directing: Susanne Messmer

Synopsis

This highly acclaimed documentary about 5 bands in China's capital celebrates a hardly noticed counterculture, banking on little islands in the big city. As different as they may be in their manner, age and music, these bands all share a fervent rejection of the contemporary Chinese society. A personal document of China's subculture and of life in Beijing beyond common clichés.
