美国大使馆将与哥伦比亚大学全球中心（北京）合作放映和讨论女导演王淼的纪录片《寻岸》。这部电影讲述了两位富裕的中国都市少年融入农村蓝领缅因州的寄宿学校的故事。 《寻岸》记录了快乐热情的 Stella和内敛的Harry努力适应美国的新生活的经历。我们看到他们的失望，挑战和胜利，以及他们如何处理和体验文化冲击，异化和个人身份问题。放映结束后，哥大的校友也会和观众分享他们的留学经历和有趣的故事。
In celebration of female directors, the U.S. Embassy has partnered with the Columbia Global Centers Beijing to host a screening and discussion of the documentary film "Maineland" by filmmaker Miao Wang.
The film follows the story of two affluent and cosmopolitan Chinese teenagers as they settle into a boarding school in rural blue-collar Maine. "Maineland" captures bubbly, fun-loving Stella and introspective Harry as they get adjusted to their new life in America.
We see their disappointments, challenges and triumphs and how they deal with and experience culture shock, alienation, and questions of personal identity. The documentary screening will be followed by a brief discussion with Columbia University alumni who will share their reflections and stories of their experiences studying in the United States.
