Jazz in China - Official Trailer

American INSIGHT - FREE SPEECH FILM FESTIVAL AWARD
2012 Award Winner
Synopsis:
“Jazz in China: The Documentary” chronicles the 100-year story of how jazz-a democratic form of music through improvisation-exists and thrives in China-a country with a long tradition of adherence to central authority.
The 60-minute documentary reveals the significant influence of African-American jazz musicians and twentieth century technologies on the spread of jazz in China and its appeal to a largely young audience through interviews with leading indigenous jazz musicians, sinologists, historians, and jazz club patrons in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and archival and contemporary performance footage.
“Jazz in China” is an “official event” of International Jazz Day, April 30, 2022.

American INSIGHT’s annual Free Speech Film Festival encourages filmmakers from around the world to speak out against injustice by submitting their FREE SPEECH FILMS. Championing different perspectives and learning to listen to other opinions is vital to the future of Democracy.
Each year, out of SIX final Free Speech Film Festival “Official Selection” films, ONE film is selected as the Free Speech Award Winner by audiences of all ages around the globe, as well as by residents of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: a "cradle of liberty” for decades before the American Revolution.
The Free Speech Film Festival is unique in that it showcases films from around the world, while also providing a marketing platform, networking opportunities, and educational workshops to filmmakers in need of exposure and visibility. Following the film’s selection, the film will be spotlighted in American INSIGHT’s newsletter, throughout the site, on social media, in monthly SPEAK EZ salons and more.
ONE of the SIX Free Speech "Official Selection" Award-Winning Directors will be chosen to receive the 2023 Free Speech Film Festival Award, and receive $1,000.
