元宵节好！2月17日（“第三周四”）去D-22看一个独立短片以及三个地下乐队演出。放映8点开始。门票30元，20元学生。

17 February 2011: the Lantern Festival marks the official end of the year’s beginning, and our fourth “Third Thursday” event takes place at D-22. We’ll screen a controversial independent film from Shanghai and showcase three hard-working, fast-rising experimental bands.

The screening will start at 8pm sharp. Door price is 30元 (20元 for students).

短片是《美克拉》，导演是胡崇曦 。他是2002年毕业于上海大学影视学院影视编导专业学习。2007年独立制作95分钟故事片《美克拉》参加2008年6月中国独立影像展，参加2008年9月威尼斯电影节。现任职于上海东方电视台-综艺部-特别项目组导演。

影片简介：

为什么上海是如此的美丽？
因为无数的年轻男女将他们的青春与激情奉献给了她。然后，上海愈发的光彩夺目；然后，青年们年华老去……
《美克拉》正是记述着几个青年步入社会的这个过程；记述着他们生活的开始；记述着友情的沦丧；记述着告别疯狂的仪式；记述着纯真与美好的遗失……
生命的光华被你吞噬掉了。
城市，今晚你是那么地美丽……

We will screen Making Love by post-80s Shanghai-based director HU Chongxi. HU graduated from Shanghai University’s film school in 2002. Capitalizing on his generation’s newfound ability to inexpensively produce films using relatively low-cost digital technology, he made Making Love, a 95-minute feature, in 2007 and submitted it to the 2008 China Independent Film Festival. He describes the film:

Why is Shanghai so beautiful?
Because countless young men and women devote their youth and passion to her. And so, Shanghai dazzles; and so, the young men and women grow old…
“Making Love” follows a few such young people entering society, beginning life, losing friendships. It portrays the madness of this farewell ritual and captures the sincerity and poignant beauty of this loss…
Life’s greatness will swallow you whole.
Shanghai, tonight you are so beautiful…

之后是三个噪音/Lo-fi二重奏的演出：路新配（最近发行一张磁带），Fat City (最近做一个soundcloud网站）, 和小红与小小红。

The screening will be followed by three acts representing the new vanguard of Chinese lo-fi and experimental sound: Luxinpei (who recently released a tape on Rose Mansion Analog), Fat City (who just launched a soundcloud site where you can stream their work), and Xiao Hong Yu Xiao Xiao Hong, an innovative duo that somehow manages to surprise every time I see them perform.

Check out the younger generations and mark the third thursday of every month on your calendar for more transmissions from the new film/music underground.
