DESCRIPTION:With director Miao Wang in person \n\n  \n\nDir. Miao Wang. 201
 7\, 90 mins. Digital projection. Filmed over three years in China and the 
 United States\, acclaimed director Miao Wang presents a multi-layered comi
 ng-of-age tale that follows two affluent and cosmopolitan teenagers as the
 y settle into a boarding school in blue-collar rural Maine. Part of the en
 ormous wave of 'parachute students' from China enrolling in U.S. private s
 chools\, bubbly\, fun-loving Stella and introspective Harry come seeking a
  Western-style education and Hollywoodized high school experience. As they
  encounter homesickness and a more nuanced understanding of the American d
 ream\, Wang and ace cinematographer Sean Price Williams let the camera ful
 ly register those complications\, steering clear of simplified portraiture
  to instead fashion a film as exploratory and sensitive as that of their b
 rave and tentative young subjects. \n\n\n'Astute and absorbing. Maineland 
 takes up a large and complicated set of topics—the global economy\, the sh
 ifting relations between East and West\, the commodification of American e
 ducation—and addresses them with understated delicacy.'—A.O. Scott\, The N
 ew York Times \n\n\nTickets: $15 ($11 seniors and students / $9 youth (age
 s 3–17) / free for children under 3 and Museum members at the Film Lover a
 nd Kids Premium levels and above). Order tickets online. (Members may cont
