SYNOPSIS

Chine, le nouvel empire,  is the historical and political story of the last 30 years of the country. The film starts of with Mao’s death in 1976 and the arrival to the supreme power of Deng Xiaoping in 1979 and it finishes with the international exhibition  held in Shanghai in 2010. It’s an historical film which intends to show the beginning of the world’s factory, the authoritarian regime that caused its growth, and the reinforced nationalism that established its power. But it’s also the story of how China needs yet to establish its dominant position worldwide.

At Inicia Films we understand that production is a way to influence society and connect emotionally with the audience. Since 2006 we have been working to promote new generations of filmmakers and thus give them a voice in today’s audiovisual world.

Through the eyes of our creators, the sensitivity of our authors, we accompany the development of international projects and multicultural talent, building bridges between their experiences abroad and their roots. We deal with topics that respond to current concerns and we believe that by connecting people and emotions we can help draw new narrative and visual horizons.
