BEIJING BUBBLES - Punk and Rock in Chinas Capital

Beijing Bubbles is a documentary about the punk and rock scene in Beijing, a portrait of five bands in the capital of China. It is also a movie about being different in a country which is the most developing in the world today, in which everybody seems to be obsessed with social advancement and the accumulation of prosperity.

Berlin filmmakers Susanne Messmer and George Lindt go on a ramble through the musical underground that is rarely recognised in China. The protagonists of this subculture are the punk band Joyside, the girl band Hang On The Box, the blues band Sha Zi, the rock band New Pants and the band T9 who combine rock with traditional Mongolian music. They all grant them intimate insights into their everyday lives and despite their diverse music styles, they share the same attitude: They have retired from the world in which they have grown up.

With an authentic and sometimes abrasive style in the spirit of punk rock Beijing Bubbles.. genuine pictures fall smoothly into place with the fresh sound of these five bands which arrestingly accompanies the film. A very personal and intimate document of China..s subculture and of life and society in Beijing beyond common clich..s.

BEIJING BUBBLES - Punk und Rock in Chinas Hauptstadt

BEIJING BUBBLES ist ein Dokumentarfilm ueber die Punk- und Rock-Szene in Peking, die dort als Subkultur kaum bis gar keine Beachtung findet. Im Mittelpunkt stehen aber nicht nur die Musik, sondern vor allem die einzelnen Musiker, die sich im aufstrebenden China der Gesellschaft mit ihrem Konsumzwang und Leistungsdenken verweigern. Diese Melancholiker, Traeumer und Desillusionisten wollen weder Teil einer rebellischen Jugendbewegung noch interessieren sie sich fuer politischen Protest. Im Trubel der Millionenmetropole Peking leben sie einfach in ihrer kleinen Welt, in der nur Musik als Lebensinhalt zaehlt.

Die Helden von BEIJING BUBBLES: Die Punkband Joyside, die Maedchenband Hang On The Box, die Bluesband Sha Zi, die Rockband New Pants und die Band T9, die Rock mit traditioneller mongolischer Musik vereint. Obwohl sie sich in Alter und Musikstil stark unterscheiden, haben sie eins gemeinsam: Sie haben sich aus der Welt, in der sie aufgewachsen sind, ausgeklinkt. Sie sagen: ..Es bringt nichts, hart zu arbeiten.. (Joyside), ..Wir brauchen Ruhe fuer die Musik.. (Hang On The Box), ..Wir wollen kein Teil dieser Gesellschaft sein.. (Sha Zi), ..Wir sind immer noch Underground.. (New Pants) und ..Ich habe mich schon lange zurueckgezogen.. (T9).
