The Rock that Movie Chinese video competition was developed in 2014 by NYU alumni and Chinese language teachers Qiu Bing (Bronx High School of Science) and Wang Xuan (Suffern Schools, Sidwell Friends). Each year students are invited to produce videos on a specific theme. The videos are rated by students in the NYU M.A. in Teaching Chinese program using rubrics in four categories: Content & Story-Telling, Fluency & Comprehensibility, Linguistic Accuracy, and Technical & Film-making Skills. 

In 2021, 25 videos were submitted to Rock that Movie Competition! 13 teachers suppervised the making of these videos!


The theme of the 2021 "Rock that Movie" event was "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now!" Below, you'll find the slideshow featuring the award-winning videos. Previous years Rock that Movie videos and winners can be found on the NYU Project DCLT Rock that Movie website.
