China Up Close: Between the Screens

To celebrate its special summer program, China Up Close, the Australian Centre for the Moving image (ACMI) invites audiences to take part in Between the Screens, a global online exhibition that explores China's exploding moving image art, film and culture.

Today, more than half the world's population live in cities or towns. China's urban population alone is expected to increase by 300 million people by 2050. Urbanisation is shifting from the West to the East and is fuelled by China's unprecedented economic buoyancy and appetite for growth.

Between the Screens includes an interactive photographic project that provides deep insight into this world through the lens of China's pre-eminent moving image artist, Yang Fudong. His works are currently being exhibited at ACMI in Yang Fudong: Filmscapes and forms the nucleus of the China Up Close program.
