For this club, Davie has chosen three short films that deal with interculturalism and are all made by Chinese artists. One is a musician, one a writer, and the other a true groundbreaker as the first woman to have directed a full-length feature film for Pixar. Among these films is a multiple award -winner, a piece that pissed off a lot of people, and one that spins a sci-fi tale mixing East and West in wonderful ways. Each one brings about a different point of view and piece of art that will touch you and make you think._x000D_

What's it like as Eastern and Western cultures continue to mix? What's it like in marriage? In business? In leadership? How does the average Chinese person see the average Westerner and vice versa? What are the things we say out loud and the things we keep to ourselves? How is art, as a medium of communication able to speak so much more loudly, boldly and articulately than the average person?_x000D_

随着东西方文化的不断融合,会是什么样子?婚姻是什么样的?在业务吗?在领导?普通中国人如何看待普通西方人,反之亦然?哪些事情是我们大声说出来的,哪些事情是我们憋在心里的?艺术作为一种交流媒介,是如何能够比普通人更大声、更大胆、更清晰地表达自己的?_x000D_
