Beijing: 纽约女导演寻找23-32岁居住在北京的单身女性Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Friday, July 18, 2008 at 10:22 AM
An announcment: Beijing - Documentary film about young urban Chinese woman looking for subjects: 你想分享你独特的心情故事吗? EMAIL: wu.sally2@gmail.com Are you interested in sharing your unique story with the outside world? We're an internationally acclaimed, highly reputable documentary film production company based in New York, and we're eager to meet young urban Chinese women to star as documentary subjects in a film we're developing in Beijing. While much has been reported in the West about China's “Little Emperors," there's far less coverage of the complicated reality facing the women of the one child generation. Our film will follow the life of one unmarried woman between the ages of 23-33, preferably an only child. We'll do a few interviews, but will mostly film her as she lives her everyday life – hanging out with her friends, going to her favorite Beijing spots, dating, visiting her family, etc... We're looking for articulate, charismatic young women who would enjoy sharing their lives on film. English is a plus, but not a necessity. We'd like to meet women who live in or near Beijing. The film is intended for American and European audiences. Please email us if you'd like to hear more about the project or about our previous work. And feel free to pass this posting on to friends whom you think might be interested in the project. EMAIL: wu.sally2@gmail.com |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
