emasia Festival!\n\nThis event is collaboration bewteen STEIM\, AUxxx and C
inemasia Film Festival.\nXi Shan / Westhill\nWest Hill (Xi Shan) is a rap g
roup coming straight out of Yun Nan region. They chose the protest genre of
rap/hip hop as their creative vehicle to express the harsh realities of li
fe\, measuring up cool grooves\, incorporating traditional instruments into
their sound pool\, they laced their lyrics with humor\, satire and side sw
ipe digs at a wide range of topics\; social\, emotional and controversial.
Most uniquely\, they rap in their own Kunming dialect. They recorded severa
l demo tracks looking for a record deal but were ignored by all the record
companies due to its ‘provocative’ nature then Kuang Chong Yu\, a well know
n Taiwanese song lyrist and producer discovered them in 2007. Knowing enoug
h about the market\, Yu decided to follow the boys' lives not only to bring
the band's story to the attention of the world in order for them to gain t
heir due respect in China but also to realize his long delayed dream to mak
e a film instead of chasing after less promising record deal.\nAfter 4 year
s of working on the film\, they found a chance to introduce the true story
of the Chinese hiphop band to the audiences outside China while the boys wi
ll have performances for the first time abroad. The documentary will be scr
eened as a rough cut while the screening of the film itself as well as the
band's performances will be shot and used as the ending scenes of the final
ly completed film. What could be more unique experience than to watch the u

recognized their true creative agenda and decided that he needed to bring
the band's story to the attention of the world in order for them to gain th
eir due respect in China. Across the last few months of 2008 and February 2
009\, Yu spent the entire period working with the band\, shooting endless r
eels of HD film footage and now\, with over 44 hours of usable film impress
ions as well as a 15 track CD\, the real journey for the band and Yu has ju
st began. In the pipeline there are 5 music clips\, a dozen of so YouTube s
how-reels and\, most importantly\, a compelling feature length documentary
about the band\; "Say Sing"\, all of which are now being spliced together i
