Night Scene (LA Premiere)
Director/Screenwriter: Cui Zi'en
Producer: Liu Shu Jing, Peng Jia Yi
China, 2004, 75 min

A proponent of homosexual rights, film scholar Cui Zi'en's predilection for boys often appears in his work. Night Scene is a film about one of the biggest taboos in contemporary China: male street prostitution. It is a unique portrait of a twilight world in parks and clubs that veers between documentary and fiction. It is the director's great achievement that he records a world hard to capture on video: "We are nothing. We have nothing. We are a tragic generation."
