Qingdao MAX is a new annual art and cultural event in Qingdao, organized by the people behind the city's English-language magazine and website Red Star.

The event is dedicated to "showing off some of the creative resources that Qingdao has to offer, alongside artists and musicians from other parts of China and indeed the world." There's a concert on Friday evening March 30, with Saturday and Sunday devoted to art and film.

Comments on Qingdao festival of music, art and film

This sounds like a very cool event. Too bad I am stuck in Guangzhou. :(

If you liked this event, Qingdao also puts on a Summer Arts Festival which usually occurs in mid July. For more info check out Qingdao Festivals.

Thanks Danwei for keeping this up! We at REDSTAR are starting to get ready for MAX 09, and would love to hear from anyone who wants to get involved. MAX 08 had Playmaker (back from London, for more!) Lonely China Day, Tookoo, SKO, Recycle, PB33, Guaili, Dama Llamas, Arrows Made of Desire, and Qingdao Dukes. Dozens of local painters and sculptors were involved in the art display. You can check out images and info from the event here.

Classic Danwei posts
+ The top Chinese books in 2007 (2008.02): China Reading Journal (中华读书报), Yazhou Zhoukan (亚洲周刊), and City Pictorial (城市画报) choose mainland China's top books for 2007.
+ Men behind the Nanny (2005.04): The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a "forum" in Beijing to promote what it calls "news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)". These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices.
+ Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.
