Heritage, culture, identity, activism and more will be onscreen at the Palace Theater on February 8 and February 10, for the 6th Annual Chinese Film Fest.
On Friday, a full-length documentary on the contemporary artist-activist Ai Weiwei will be shown at 7 p.m. Alison Klayman directs this powerful film on the “Beijng Andy Warhol.”
Weiwei has many labels, but it is apparent that his massive creativity is fueled, and not shackled by the constraints of his country.
He seeks, provokes, creates and unleashes dangerous ideas from a country, that to the outside world, would rather strangle dissension and democracy, than allow a seed full of ideals to survive. Rated R.
