Post-film discussion to be m oderated by Yong Lu. \;\n\n \n\nDir. Miao Wang. 2017\, 90 mins. Digit al projection. Filmed over three years in China and the United States\, ac claimed director Miao Wang presents a multi-layered coming-of-age tale tha t follows two affluent and cosmopolitan teenagers as they settle into a bo arding school in blue-collar rural Maine. Part of the enormous wave of 'pa rachute students' from China enrolling in U.S. private schools\, bubbly\, fun-loving Stella and introspective Harry come seeking a Western-style edu cation and Hollywoodized high school experience. As they encounter homesic kness and a more nuanced understanding of the American dream\, Wang and ac e cinematographer Sean Price Williams let the camera fully register those complications\, steering clear of simplified portraiture to instead fashio n a film as exploratory and sensitive as that of their brave and tentative young subjects. After the film\, Miao Wang will participate in a discussi on moderated by Yong Lu\, \;CEO and Founder of Evergreen Asia Advisors and the author of two books on America’s nonprofit sector and its applica tions to China\, The Third Force (2011) and Fundraising for a Cause (2014) .\n\n\n'Astute and absorbing. Maineland takes up a large and complicated s et of topics—the global economy\, the shifting relations between East and West\, the commodification of American education—and addresses them with u nderstated delicacy.'—A.O.
