CHEN VILLAGE Trailer. Empty MInd Films

Our upcoming new release in July is CHEN VILLAGE, a story that revolves around life in Chen Village, China and Chen Family Tai Chi. There are 3,000 residents in Chen Village (Chenjiagou) and 2,500 practice Tai Chi Chuan on a daily basis. Almost ninety percent of the residents bear the Chen surname.
In this feature length film we explore the growing number of Tai Chi Chuan followers from abroad that descend upon the village and how the Chen style and the generations of the Chen family have survived China's turbulent history to make Chen style popular all over the world. A fact mainly attributed to 19th generation grand master Chen Xiaowang.
It is a fascinating look into rural village life and Chen Village's claim to fame as the birthplace of Tai Chi Chuan.

Chenjiagou (Chen Village) is in central China about 60 miles west of Zhengzhou in Henan province. You can fly direct or take an overnight train from Beijing to the main city of Zhengzhou and then you need a taxi cab to take you to Chen Village or Wexian, the nearest main town. The taxi will cost about $60 one way.

Avoid December through to March as it can get very cold and lots of snow. The Autumn and Spring are very nice. Empty Mind Films
