Piano Dreams @ Galway Film Fleadh 2022
China is in the grip of ‘pianomania’. Of China’s entire body of musical students, 83% study the piano. Altogether, there are more than 30 million children and teenagers studying piano, with many practising up to 10 hours a day. This film will follow three of them, and their families, as they attempt to realise their dreams in the competitive world of Chinese piano.
It’s both an intimate portrait of a remarkably talented group of young musicians, and a glimpse into the lives of the new Chinese middle class, the world’s most dynamic social group.
