2014 “June Fourth” Poetry Film Contest

· PURPOSE: Although the truth of June Fourth Incident (Tiananmen
Square Protests of 1989) is yet to be unfolded and given justice, it is an
epochal monument for the entire world. Twenty-five years after the
Incident, we would like to invite artists from all areas to work together
to create poetry films that commemorates it. It is hoped that, by
extending artistic creativity, we are able to cross the borders of taboo
and broaden the perspectives of freedom. Let memories sing and eyes weave
dialogs, video and poetry aligned to voice again various reflections and
elaborations on June Fourth Incident.
