The Rising Tide Screening February 6th and 7th, 2008 @ 7PM Bennett Media Studio 723 Washinton Street, New York, NY 10014

Robert Adanto's The Rising Tide, which recently screened at Art Basel Miami Beach, has two upcoming screenings in NY on February 6th and 7th. The feature-length documentary examines China's economic and cultural metamorphosis through the work of some of the Middle Kingdom's most talented video artists and photographers, including the internationally recognized Cao Fei, Xu Zhen, Wang Qingsong, Chen Qiulin and Zhang O. The Rising Tide is an incredibly timely examination of China's growing prominence in international culture. Set within the dual context of globalization and rapid urbanization, Chinese Contemporary Art has emerged as arguably the most vital and imaginative cultural force in the world today. "The rest of us better make an effort to grasp what their work is about, or get out of the way," says Mark Lynch, host of WICN's Inquiry, " [The Rising Tide is] an 'eye-opener' in every sense of the word, if you are an artist, curator or art teacher be sure to catch this film."   "Adanto's surprisingly grim film highlights both the vitality and urgency of China's burgeoning new culture while allowing its subjects to speak of the darker and more painful aspects of change," says Gerry Mak in Flavorpill.
