a still from our film, a Chinese student’s family photo in Dutch national costume

The West has been fascinated by China but what does China think of the West? Increased affluence and relaxed Chinese and international travel restrictions has opened up the West to millions of Chinese so how does this new exposure to occidental values affect the Chinese who study, holiday and work in the West? What impressions of the West do people return with and how does it reflect on life back at home? Is life that different? And if it is different, is better or worse? We talk to students in Delft about their experiences, watch the film here.

Welcome to our new website. This is will give you an idea of what we are doing and what we find interesting. In this blog we will be writing about life in Asia, consumer issues, anthropology, films we like, films we are selling, our experiences in using film as a research medium, our current projects and lots of other things that flit through our collective minds that we think might be interesting to you.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and questions too, we don’t want to be only ones talking here.
