Intimate China


As world eyes fall on China ahead of the upcoming Olympic games in 2008, how do you see China portrayed in the media? What types of stories do you hear? What do you know and what would you like to know?

A documentary film by Photo MA graduate Boris Austin about the making of a 30 Page "China Special" for Dutch Magazine Onze Wereld. The project, curated by Photo MA visiting lecturer Pieter vander Houwen and Boris, uses photo essays created by MA students and graduates to give a new perspective of China to a western audience.

See the film on the Onze Wereld website (this has bugs so maybe try the Vimeo link)...here
