The film Beijing Bubbles is a portrait of Beijing's punk and rock scene, a subculture largely unrecognized in the city. The movie focuses not only on the music, but also on the attitude to life of young musicians who reject consumerism and societal expectations. The film's directors, Susanne Messmer and George Lindt, embark on a journey through Beijing's musical underground, capturing candid moments in the daily lives of its musicians. The result is a video diary-like portrayal of a counter culture that defies expectations in authoritarian China.
