Art College 1994

The director of "Have a Nice Day" returns with another animated hit, which travels back to his student days in the Fine Arts, nostalgic for the mumblecore aesthetics of the 90's, while remaining incredibly fresh, without ever lapsing into the sin of sterile retrospection.

Synopsis

In the 1990s, a group of students on the campus of the Chinese Southern Academy of Arts are pursuing their studies and preparing to face the world. China is opening up to the West and the students’ lives are a tangle of love stories and friendships, artistic research, ideals and ambitions brought about by new influences. Caught between tradition and modernity, they have to decide who they want to become.
