Lu Xuechang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a Chinese name; the family name is Lu.

Lu Xuechang (simplified Chinese: 路学长; pinyin: 路學長) (born 1964, Beijing, China) is a Sixth Generation Chinese film director. One of a new crop of talented filmmakers, Lu has directed four feature films beginnign with his debut, The Making of Steel in 1997.

Like many of his present-day peers, critics have seen elements of foreign filmmakers in Lu's work with Lu himself claiming to enjoy Italian cinema (although he stops short of naming specific influences).[1] Also like his peers, however, Lu has had his share of run-ins with the censors. The Making of Steel for example, was recut six times before it was allowed to be screened.[1]
