In the mountains, north of Beijing, stands a replica of the Wyoming ski-town of Jackson Hole. Home to a few thousand residents, the town offers respite to Beijingers seeking not only an escape from the city, but an escape from China itself.

Main Street, Jackson Hole, Hebei... Complete with man-made snow!Earlier this December Ting, Qihan and I preview-screened our feature documentary "The Land of Many Palaces" to audiences in Beijing. The screenings were held at a mix of academic institutions (Peking University, Beijing Normal University) and cultural organisations in the Hutongs (Courtyard Institute, Zajia Lab, Meridian Space), plus a screening for the Foreign Correspondents Club of China held at the French Embassy. Thank you to those who helped us organise the screenings, and to those who came out to attend them: The feedback we received was very encouraging. We look forward to our world and US premiere in January 2015, and all the screenings that will follow.
