  • Adam K. Frost The End of Bitterness. In recent decades China has experienced a remarkable rise, yet the Chinese society has also become increasingly unequal. Rural citizens have not been able to fully reap the benefits of growing national prosperity. With a widening gulf between China’s affluent cities and its impoverished countryside, some rural poor have turned to begging. The End of Bitterness explores the phenomenon of begging in the context of a rapidly changing society. check out our website for more information🔎 Link in bio! @uniuef #visculet2018 #goodlife #myjoensuu #china #documentary

  • How can cultural heritage survive? The documentary film Heavy Heart is a product of the ethnomusicological research project “Silalo panori / Cold water” (2014–2017) on ancient Roma songs. These songs are usually connected to the memories and experiences of their performers. In a mosaic-like way, the documentary traces the ways in which original Roma music is transferred to the next generation, and also how it ceases to exist under the influence of social changes. 25.10.2018 @uniuef #viscult2018 #goodlife #myjoensuu #romasong #culture
