Oct 13-Nov 17 Film Festival - Reel China: Six Nights of New
Chinese Documentaries At UCLA every Wednesday, October 13 - November 17, 2004.
The Critical Studies, Department of Film and Television at UCLA presents Reel
China: Six Nights of New Chinese Documentaries. This screening series is part
of the ongoing fall 2004 REEL CHINA: New Chinese Documentary Festival in New
York and Boston. It is perhaps not until late 1980s when documentary filmmaking
in China started to realize the medium's major raison d'etre as social
expression and critique in the most grassroots way possible. The appearance of
such new documentaries - termed as the "New Documentary Movement"
(xin jilu yundong) in China - is the combined result of a number of factors: a
general mixed sense of hope and loss amidst an era of dramatic change; greater
freedom in the economic sector plus technological advancement in digital media
that makes independent and amateur filmmaking increasingly possible, etc. This
is a movement that does not have a conscious manifesto but has doubtless grown
out of the collective psyche of China around the turn of the century.

July 17, 2004 through October 17, 2004 The Occupations of Sh™wa Japan in Pictures: The Woodblock Prints of Wada Sanz™ at the Pacific Asia Museum. Modern Japanese society and culture is often imagined in dramatic conflict between western-style modernity and enduring tradition. This tension emerged in the Meiji era (1868-1912) and continues today, but was most pronounced during the early Sh™wa period (1926-1989). This was a time when the nation rejected European values as part of war ideology, then enthusiastically re-embraced western culture during the Allied Occupation of 1945-52. www.pacificasiamuseum.org

Last Weekend(s)
TILL OCTOBER 3 Beyond the
Floating World: Japanese Woodblock Prints. "Blue Bird," Sozan Ito,
Date unknown, Japan. More than 40 original Japanese woodblock prints from the
Los Angeles Public Library's collection, featuring notable masters Hiroshige
(1797-1858), Ukiyo-e master Utamaro (1750-1806) and Shin-hanga master Shoson
(1877-1945), are on display in the exhibition "Beyond Floating World:
Japanese Woodblock Prints" from June 5 to October 3 at the Los Angeles
Public Library's Central Library, 630 W. Fifth St., downtown. Japanese
woodblock prints are among the most collected and appreciated types of Japanese
art. The Los Angeles Public Library houses a collection of these prints dating
from the 17th century. In response to rapid changes in Japanese society,
Ukiyo-e artists of the late 18th and 19th centuries created work that was intensely
imaginative and innovative. These prints provided the Japanese urban middle
class with a source of artistic pleasure. Many prints portrayed famous kabuki
actors costumed for particular roles and renown beauties attired in high
fashion. Other popular subjects were scenes from classic Japanese literature,
landscapes, townscapes, birds, animals and flowers. Many fine examples of the
Shin-hanga or the "new print" movement of the early-to-mid-20th
century are also in the Library's collection. During the Shin-hanga movement,
artists broadened the range of traditional Ukiyo-e subject matter, reflecting
their new-found appreciation for Western art without abandoning the beauty and
poetry that was inherent in Ukiyo-e. Throughout this period, the artists
continued to embrace the influence from the feudalistic period while
incorporating modern sensibilities. Traditionally dismissed as decadent, the
artists featured in this exhibition are now being re-evaluated and receiving
acclaim for their skill and innovation. This exhibition is sponsored by
Farmer's Insurance and presented by the Library Foundation.
Oct. 2 35th Anniversary
Recital Bando Mitsuhiro Kai Japanese Classical Dance, 12:30pm &
5:30pm. Location: Aratani/Japan America Theatre. The Bando Mitsuhiro Japanese
Classical dance school of Los Angeles celebrates it 35th anniversary and the
50th anniversary of Madame Mitsuhiro's award of her natori,
dance title. Two different programs will feature classical dances, which
have their origins in the centuries-old Kabuki drama and will be characterized by beautiful costumes, elaborate make-up
and wigs.
Joined by special guest artists from Japan, Madame Hanayagi
Sumi, Master Bando Mitsujiro and
Madame Bando Hideko, daughter of the Grandmaster of the Bando school in Japan
and renowned Kabuki Actor, Bando Mitsugoro X. The newest natori and shihan
students awarded their professional stage names will be presented in a
formal debut and the talents of local students will
be showcased.
Oct 3 Moment of Hope, a charity concert for A3M
Ahn Trio 7:00 PM
Scintillating, stylish,
and tenacious, the Ahn trio is revolutionizing classical music. Born in Seoul,
South Korea, twins Lucia (piano) and Maria (cello), along with their sister
Angella (violin), have taken their training in traditional classical chamber
music at the famed Juillard School and fine-tuned it with a modern edge. Their
repertoire includes composers that range from the legendary Leonard Bernstein
to the celebrated David Bowie. Their sound of contemporary harmony fused with
their energetic performances has attracted new audiences to take notice.
"To me, music is so much about expression, and having aural visual and
emotional senses that come alive. I feel very passionately about expressing
myself when I play," says Angella. The Cerritos Center for the Performing
Arts is located at 12700 Center Court Drive in the Cerritos TowneCenter.
