Portrait of contemporary China
“The Long Bow Trilogy,” three films that provide an extraordinary, first-hand portrait of contemporary China, will be screened by the Canterbury Film Society this Sunday, at 7.30 p.m., at the Clock Tower Theatre, in the Arts Centre; and on Tuesday, at the same time, at the Sociology Theatrette, Ham University. The director, Carma Hinton, was well
qualified to make this film. The daughter of William Hinton, whose detailed descriptions of the village of Long Bow in the books, "Fanshen” and “Shenfan,” are classics, she was bom in Peking in 1949 and never left China until 1970. The directness and honesty with which the villagers speak to her is as remarkable as it is refreshing.
