Cast: Shide Nyima, Yangshik Tso. !1 Tibetan sheep-herder Tharlo journeys from his remote village to get a photo ID in the nearest town of Qinghai province where he meets a city woman whose romantic intentions may not be what they first seem. One of the most prominent Tibetan filmmakers working today, Pema Tseden tells this age-old tale, richly capturing contrasts of geography and tone, as a naive romance turns into something darker. Popular Tibetan comedian Shide Nyima brings a bittersweet edge to the title role. Preceded by World Premiere ! China, 2016 Director: Gu Changwei | MOV | color | approx. 3 min. Gu plays visual puns with the exclamation point warning internet users in China of blocked content. “!” repetitively cycles into “i” and back again. World Premiere N39º54' 12.56" E116º23' 14.20" China, 2015 Director/Cinematographer: Gu Changwei | MOV | b&w | 16 min. In recent years, award-winning director (Peacock, 2005) and cinematographer (Farewell My Concubine, 1993) Gu Changwei has turned to art photography and video installation. In this transfixing iPhone-shot video from his “money” series, the Great Hall of the People stands as immovable an edifice in Tiananmen Square as it does etched on the Chinese 100 RMB banknote – a permanent lodestar while human and vehicular traffic ebb and flow in super slo-mo before it. An earlier version of the video was presented as an installation at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing. In person: Director Gu Changwei, in conversation with art curator John Kong Co-presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Saturday, October 15 • 7:30 PM @ Wilder Los Angeles Premiere TRIVISA ໅य़೗ᷚ Hong Kong/China, 2016 Directors: Jevons Au, Frank Hui, Vicky Wong | DCP | Color | In Cantonese, Mandarin and Thai with English subtitles | 96 min. Screenwriters: Loong Man Hoong, Thomas Ng, Mak Tin Shu | Cast: Lam Ka Tung, Richie Jen, Jordan Chan. A chance encounter between three gangsters plying the border between Hong Kong and China just before the 1997 handover sets the stage for this intricate tale filmed by three young directors mentored by veteran auteur Johnnie To. Trivisa interweaves plans gone awry, missed opportunities and dead ends, reimagining not just the end of an era but the explosive beginnings of 21st-century Hong Kong. Monday, October 17 • 7:30 PM @ Wilder West Coast Premiere BEHEMOTH ṹْنఓ China, 2015 Director: Zhao Liang | DCP | Color | In Mandarin with English subtitles | 94 min. Independent documentarian Zhao Liang presents a stunning vision of the natural and human disaster unfolding across China as strip mines and iron works transform a landscape and a people into a living version of Dante’s Hell. Indeed, Zhao directly references the Divine Comedy in the film’s poetic structure and its mythological meditation on the environmental devastation it captures. !2 In person: Zhao Liang Wednesday, October 19 • 7:30 PM @ Bridges DUNHUANG PROJECTED West Coast Restoration Premiere STAGE SISTERS ᛩݣথট China, 1964 Director: Xie Jin | DCP | color | In Mandarin with English subtitles | 112 min. | Restoration by L’Immagine Ritrovata for the Shanghai International Film Festival Screenwriters: Lin Gu, Xu Jin, Xie Jin | Cast: Xie Fang, Cao Yindi, Deng Nan. In this lush backstage drama set in the decades leading up to 1949, a pair of Chinese opera actresses sing their way from the countryside to the city and back again. Caught up in Cultural Revolution power struggles, veteran director Xie Jin’s portrait of female solidarity and awakening political consciousness was banned almost immediately but revived in the 1980s as a masterpiece of Chinese filmmaking, and is now newly released in this magnificent digital restoration. Preceded by West Coast Premiere THE HEDONISTS ០ኞ China, 2016 Director: Jia Zhangke | DCP | Color | In Mandarin with English subtitles | 26 min. Screenwriters: Zhao Tao, Jia Zhangke | Cast: Liang Jingdong, Han Sanming, Yuan Wenqian. Critically acclaimed director Jia Zhangke and his longtime muse Zhao Tao craft a drily absurdist tale of three laid-off coal factory workers retraining to be performers at a new cultural theme park. Director Jia recently joined the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Co-presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Sunday, October 23 • 9:00 AM @ Garden/Bridges DUNHUANG PROJECTED North American Premiere ATA ᆙᥠ China, 2014 Director/Screenwriter: Chakme Rinpoche | DCP | B&W | In Mandarin with English subtitles | 94 min. Cast: Wang Ning, Jiao Gang, Meng Tianyu. Tianyu is a sightless boy whose mother believes his only chance for a future is to become a champion disabled Ping Pong player. Tianyu has other ideas – envisioning a much wider world than his mother understands. When he goes missing, she is forced to see things as he does in this beautiful, spiritually suffused debut feature from Tibetan writer-director Chakme Rinpoche. West Coast Premiere JOURNEY TO THE WEST ᥜ჋ France/Taiwan, 2014 Director: Tsai Ming-liang | Blu-ray | Color | 56 min. Cast: Lee Kang-sheng, Denis Lavant. !3 Malaysian-Taiwanese auteur Tsai Ming-liang reinterprets the spiritual allegory of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West as cinematic performance art. With mesmerizing slowness, a Buddhist monk (played by Tsai’s alter ego Lee Kang-sheng) inches forward through the streets of Marseille. Along the way Tsai’s camera reveals a delicate interplay of concentration, urbanism and everyday life. In person: Ata director Chakme Rinpoche, in conversation with theater director and UCLA Distinguished Professor of World Arts & Cultures/Dance, Peter Sellars Please note: Chakme Rinpoche will lead a group meditation open to audience members from 9:00-9:25 am in the UCLA Sculpture Garden, adjacent to the James Bridges Theater where Ata will screen at 9:45 am. Chai tea will be served after the meditation.

Cast: Tu Men, Ai Liya, Degena Yun Writer-director Degena Yun also stars in this understated semi-autobiographical story of a daughter and father equally adrift at opposite ends of their lives. A college dropout, she withdraws into virtual relationships while he, diagnosed with cancer, recedes into memories of his career as a leading Mongolian filmmaker. Their separate but parallel lives cross and clash building to a final recognition. In person: Degena Yun (via live video) Friday, October 28 • 7:30 PM @ Wilder North American Premiere RIVER မ China, 2015 Director/Screenwriter: Sonthar Gyal | DCP | Color | In Tibetan with English subtitles | 94 min. Cast: Yangchan Lhamu, Regzin Drolma, Guru Tsedan. A young girl, her father and his father each long for stronger relationships with the other but must fight the weight of histories, personal and national, to rebuild their bonds. Tibetan writer-director Sonthar Gyal (The Sun-Beaten Path) makes breathtaking use of the Tibetan plains and mountains as an epic backdrop to this intimate family drama. Saturday, October 29 • 7:30 PM @ Wilder US Premiere TA’ANG ஛෼ Hong Kong/France, 2016 Director: Wang Bing | DCP | Color | In Burmese and Mandarin with English subtitles | 147 min. The latest work from groundbreaking Chinese documentarian Wang Bing (and new member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) takes us to a remote, lean-to refugee camp on the Sino- Myanmar border, where members of Myanmar’s Ta’ang ethnic minority have fled to escape renewed fighting in that country’s decades-long civil war. Wang immerses us in the ebb and flow of the camp, the search for family, necessities, and humanity redolent in the smallest of gestures. !4 Preceded by North American Premiere TRACES ᭳࣎ China, 2014 Director: Wang Bing | HD video | Color | 29 min. A perambulation of memory in Gobi Desert earth and bones of the former Jiabiangou labor camp where more than a thousand men starved to death in the anti-rightist campaign of the late 1950s.

The absurd heights of bureaucratic indifference and official corruption captured by director Zhang Zanbo’s camera might lead one to think The Road is a work of fiction.

    Zhang Yimou Interviews Edited by Frances Gateward

    ZHANG YIMOU INTERVIEWS EDITED BY FRANCES GATEWARD Discussing Red Sorghum JIAO XIONGPING/1988 Winning Winning Credit for My Grandpa Could you discuss how you chose the novel for Red Sorghum? I didn't know Mo Yan; I first read his novel, Red Sorghum, really liked it, and then gave him a phone call. Mo Yan suggested that we meet once. It was April and I was still filming Old Well, but I rushed to Shandong-I was tanned very dark then and went just wearing tattered clothes. I entered the courtyard early in the morning and shouted at the top of my voice, "Mo Yan! Mo Yan!" A door on the second floor suddenly opened and a head peered out: "Zhang Yimou?" I was dark then, having just come back from living in the countryside; Mo Yan took one look at me and immediately liked me-people have told me that he said Yimou wasn't too bad, that I was just like the work unit leader in his village. I later found out that this is his highest standard for judging people-when he says someone isn't too bad, that someone is just like this village work unit leader. Mo Yan's fiction exudes a supernatural quality "cobblestones are ice-cold, the air reeks of blood, and my grandma's voice reverberates over the sorghum fields." How was I to film this? There was no way I could shoot empty scenes of the sorghum fields, right? I said to Mo Yan, we can't skip any steps, so why don't you and Chen Jianyu first write a literary script.

    PRODUCTION NOTES Set in a small Chinese village where an illicit blood trade has spread AIDS to the community, LOVE FOR LIFE is the story of De Yi and Qin Qin, two victims faced with the grim reality of impending death, who unexpectedly fall in love and risk everything to pursue a last chance at happiness before it’s too late. SYNOPSIS In a small Chinese village where an illicit blood trade has spread AIDS to the community, the Zhao’s are a family caught in the middle. Qi Quan is the savvy elder son who first lured neighbors to give blood with promises of fast money while Grandpa, desperate to make amends for the damage caused by his family, turns the local school into a home where he can care for the sick. Among the patients is his second son De Yi, who confronts impending death with anger and recklessness. At the school, De Yi meets the beautiful Qin Qin, the new wife of his cousin and a recent victim of the virus. Emotionally deserted by their respective spouses, De Yi and Qin Qin are drawn to each other by the shared disappointment and fear of their fate. With nothing to look forward to, De Yi capriciously suggests becoming lovers but as they begin their secret affair, they are unprepared for the real love that grows between them. De Yi and Qin Qin’s dream of being together as man and wife, to love each other legitimately and freely, is jeopardized when the villagers discover their adultery. With their time slipping away, they must decide if they will surrender everything to pursue one chance at happiness before it’s too late.

    Film and the Chinese Medical Humanities

    5 The fever with no name Genre-blending responses to the HIV-tainted blood scandal in 1990s China Marta Hanson Among the many responses to HIV/AIDS in modern China – medical, political, economic, sociological, national, and international – the cultural responses have been considerably powerful. In the past ten years, artists have written novels, produced documentaries, and even made a major feature-length film in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China.1 One of the best-known critical novelists in China today, Yan Lianke 阎连科 (b. 1958), wrote the novel Dream of Ding Village (丁庄梦, copyright 2005; Hong Kong 2006; English translation 2009) as a scath- ing critique of how the Chinese government both contributed to and poorly han- dled the HIV/AIDS crisis in his native Henan province. He interviewed survivors, physicians, and even blood merchants who experienced first-hand the HIV/AIDS ‘tainted blood’ scandal in rural Henan of the 1990s giving the novel authenticity, depth, and heft. Although Yan chose a child-ghost narrator, the Dream is clearly a realistic novel. After signing a contract with Shanghai Arts Press he promised to donate 50,000 yuan of royalties to Xinzhuang village where he researched the AIDS epidemic in rural Henan, further blurring the fiction-reality line. The Chi- nese government censors responded by banning the Dream in Mainland China (Wang 2014: 151). Even before director Gu Changwei 顾长卫 (b. 1957) began making a feature film based on Yan’s banned book, he and his wife Jiang Wenli 蒋雯丽 (b. 1969) sought to work with ordinary people living with HIV/AIDS as part of the process of making the film.

    21St Century Chinese Cinema in the Late 1960S and 70S, Red Ballets and Operas Dominated the Chinese Screen

    21st century Chinese cinema In the late 1960s and 70s, red ballets and operas dominated the Chinese screen. Mao died in 1976: a new age of cinema emerged with the founding of the Beijing Film Academy in 1978. Expressing new confidence in both historical and contemporary themes, young film-makers like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige brought Chinese film to a global audience with masterpieces such as Red Sorghum (1987) and Farewell my Concubine (1993). Martin Scorsese named Tian Zhuangzhuang’s The Horse Thief (1986) as his favourite film of the 1990s (when it was released in the US). But many of these films encountered stigma at home. Growing commercialisation and globalisation since the 1980s and 90s have driven Chinese cinema to explore new modes of both cinematography and moneymaking, leading to exploratory films at home in Western arthouse cinemas, and entertaining movies that have drawn huge crowds in China. In this modest selection, we set the scene with a film that shaped the vision of China’s 21st century filmmakers. Tian Zhuangzhuang’s restrained criticism of 1950s and 60s state policies in The Blue Kite (1992) led to his blacklisting by the Party, but did not preclude him for mentoring the next generation of filmmakers. We then showcase a selection of remarkable 21st century films that have won world-wide acclaim for China’s talented directors and actors. Our selection finishes with a couple of rollicking tales that have attracted the popular domestic audience: a grand epic: Red Cliff (2008), known better for its cavalry charges than its character development, and Lost in Thailand (2012) that, airily suspending social comment and political tension, was the biggest ever box office success in China.

No, it is infectious, it is more like aids. alain tanner, La Vallée Fantôme (1987) Ever since an unknown, threatening disease was identified as Acquired Immu- nodeficiency Syndrome (aids) in the 1980s, aids has been a subject of filmmak- ing in Western cinemas. Directors usually capture the alienation and suffering of the aids patients—mostly urban, marginal individuals such as gays, drug addicts, and prostitutes who are portrayed as having a deviant lifestyle, and for whom the disease is a stigma for which they are held responsible. Often seen as a threat to the community, they serve as warnings and “bad” examples for the general public.1 Gu Changwei’s 顾长卫 recent film, Love for Life (Zui ai 最爱, 2011), on the contrary, portrays a group of aids bearers in a rural environment in China as innocent peasants conforming a conventional life, whose biggest mistake lies in having followed the rhetoric of “getting rich quickly” by means of selling blood; in other words, the collective nature of this Chinese “tainted community” sets Gu’s film apart from other aids narratives and, to a large ex- tent, appears as a social criticism of national characteristics and contemporary economic development.
