<p class="MsoNormal">ROCK HEART BEIJING is a revealing and often funny
documentary
that follows one of the Chinese Mainland’s foremost rock bands, Subs –
fronted
by petite but fissile Kang Mao - as it tours China and Nordic Europe. It
shows
the band struggling with poverty, sexism, familial scorn, government
censorship
and the pursuit of an endlessly redefined notion of freedom. Through the
film, China is shown as a place – like contemporary Russia, perhaps
- where rock and roll has yet to lose its subversive and rebellious
character, where
musicians strive for more than fame and fortune. <br>
<br>
ROCK HEART BEIJING will be presented by JONATHAN CAMPBELL. From 2000-2010 he
lived in Beijing
where he worked as a drummer, agent and chronicler of the local rock scene. His
book Red Rock: The Long, Strange March of Chinese Rock & Roll (2011) tells
the tale of the rise and development of “yaogun”, a Chinese word for – and take
on - rock music.</p>
