Once \u201chomeland\u201d was associated with beautiful pastoral landscape, was the home for our body and soul and a harbour where we embarked on a new journey; however, today in front of global warming, ecological crisis, lack of energy, urban sprawl, overexploit of land, water crisis, desertification, new viruses and inadequate food as well as escalated conflict between man and nature, where should we build or rebuild our home and where to find a place to live and raise our children? The fast development of global industry, urban areas and economy has forced us to ask ourselves: what roads does a mountain need? What rainy season does a river need? What villages do frogs and sparrows need? What buildings do the blue sky and breeze need? What big trees do a grandfather and his grandson need? What courtyard do mothers need?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

While we\u2019re recovering from the shocks of the Sichuan earthquake and starting to rebuild our homeland, CNEX calls for documentary producers who care about man and land, man and living space as well as the living environment for the next generation to have a bird\u2019s eye view over the Next Generation\u2019s Homeland: green, environmental-friendly and sustainable, to avoid to drain the pond to get all the fish and to pursue harmony between man and the environment.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We hope to see profound stories, vivid characters, specific\u00a0scenes, express logic, far-sighted view and even the future\u00a0state the soul and spirit; in 2009, we call for documentaries\u00a0from the Chinese community which reflect on, imagine and take actions for the Next Generation\u2019s Homeland and then present them to the whole world. At the same time, we also hope that those works full of insights and vitality can comfort the victims of the earthquake.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
