MONICA
ROUND EYES IN THE MIDDLE KINGDOM
(U.S. 1995 53 min.)
China as the Communist revolution spread, one
Caucasian resident who stayed was a Russian Jew who
joined Mao's revolution. In this fascinating rarely
seen period in China, the filmmaker (whose own family
opted to leave China for the U.S.) uses extensive archival
footage and photos to attempt to reconcile his own
comfortable, colonial childhood with the famines and
suffering that led to the Chinese revolution. Plays
with SUPERIOR PEOPLE (U.S., 1996 50 min.) Most people
fly over America's heartland and think that nothing
is there. I wanted to present an accurate picture of
family farming and life in a small American town...
to give a face to the impending doom of the lifestyle
upon which this country was founded.Frank Leupold
