你如何定义“酷”？你什么时候最开心？你觉得你的未来会是什么样？——这是纪录短片《竹峪少年》向青少年们提出的一些问题。陕西省竹峪镇保留着传统农耕社会的特点，影片追踪了镇上六位初中生，并试图记录他们从童年到成年的短暂又有限的过渡期。对青少年内心的探索使《竹峪少年》成为一部中国的乡村青年图鉴。

How do you define Cool? When are you at your happiest? When you imagine your future, what does it look like? There are just some of the questions posed to a group of teenagers in short documentary Youth of Zhúyù Village. The film follows six junior high students from Zhúyù Village, a small farming community in China’s Shaanxi Province, and attempts to document the fleeting, liminal period between childhood and adulthood. A charming exploration of teenage interiority, Youth of Zhúyù Village is a moving portrait of rural youth in a nation preoccupied with progress.
