Nommé aux Oscars®, catégorie Meilleur court métrage documentaire, 1998

Le jour se lève sur la place Tienanmen

1999 25 min
Leaving soon

Ce court métrage documentaire animé retrace la jeunesse du cinéaste Shui-Bo Wang dans la Chine de Mao. À travers de nombreuses archives visuelles de propagande et de photos de famille, le cinéaste revisite avec franchise et sans complaisance son parcours familial parfois trouble et les jalons de la Chine communiste (Grand Bond en avant, Révolution culturelle). Le jour se lève sur la place Tienanmen aborde les promesses d’une nouvelle société où personne ne sera laissé pour compte, mais dans laquelle l’adhésion la plus totale aux préceptes du régime signifiera la désignation, puis la neutralisation d’un ennemi commun.

Have students use personal photographs to make a collage that narrates their life thus far. Students should think of an important event that has had an impact on their lives, and try to draw it as Shui-Bo Wang did with the events from his life. Students can read an article about the 1989 event that took place at Tiananmen Square. After learning more about China's history of politics, students can take this quiz and see how much they have learned.
