Six documentary shorts chronicle the changing state of China’s independent, and underground, film scene.

Join dGenerate Films on a month-long trip to post-Olympics China. They traveled from Shanghai to Nanjing to Beijing, and kept the cameras rolling. The result is unprecedented access into China’s other film community, where writing, filming, and distribution don’t always wait for government approval. The series features the most important filmmakers, critics, producers, curators, and underground scenesters making films, their way, in China today.

About dGenerate Films
dGenerate Films brings uncensored, unprecedented and visionary content from deep within mainland China’s independent, and underground, film scene to the U.S. market. It combines pioneering relationships in China with a groundbreaking online platform Reframe, a joint venture between Amazon and Tribeca Film Institute, to distribute previously inaccessible media to U.S. audiences.

dGenerate Films recognizes that unauthorized films by China’s post-Sixth Generation are the only truly independent media in China today. We remain deeply committed to providing American audiences with an unmediated look at life, as it’s truly lived, inside the world’s next superpower.
