This autumn, the Bates College Museum of Art will host The Global Lens Film Series. Organized by the Global Film Initiative, the series draws from cinematic talent across the planet, with a focus on Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.<\/p>\n

The Series opens with\u00a0Getting Home<\/em> by Zhang Yang, China (Mandarin, with subtitles in English). In this soulful and humane comedy, Zhao, a middle-aged construction worker, struggles to fulfill a dying co-worker\u2019s last wish to be buried in China\u2019s Three Gorges region. Setting out with his colleague\u2019s body in tow, Zhao travels hundreds of miles across extraordinary countryside, encountering a number of colorful adventures and characters\u2014and even discovering love in some unlikely quarters. Director Zhang Yang\u2019s humorous and moving tale of friendship offers a powerful, and sometimes slapstick, commentary on the value of community and human connectivity in modern China.<\/p>\n
