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.

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.
