Jackson Hole, Hebei December 2014 Shoot

12/30/2014

 

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. 

I shot there for a short film (working title: Mountain Town), earlier this month, over two weekends. I interviewed several families and individuals, including the founder of the community, Mr. Liu. On my second weekend there, they sprayed man-made snow on the streets!

Beijing Preview Screening Week for "The Land of Many Palaces"

12/28/2014

 
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.
