Way of Fortune
(China/2007/Director: Chang Chao Wei/73 min/CNEX/Documentary) Mandarin + English subtitles
The 2008 Beijing Olympics have really shaken up the westerners; the world is both astounded and perplexed by this new China’s considerable wealth and prosperity. What are the factors that led to the current economic development? What is the driving force of fortune-making in the Chinese history? How do Chinese people see money and wealth? What are the challenges China has to face in the future? This documentary seeks answers to these important questions.

Shanghai Quest
(America /2007/Director: Kim Taylor /78 min/ Documentary) Mandarin/ English+English / Mandarin subtitles
The Paris of the Orient in the 20s and 30s, Shanghai is now the New York of the Far East. Three Westerners abandon their respective lands of opportunity to try and “make it” in China. The film provides us with an open view of contemporary urban China and the astonishing rate with which the city has undergone a 
“lifestyle revolution” since the economic reforms of 1992.
