<ul>
<li>Ang Lee, in a <a href="http://www.straight.com/article-142704/director-ang-lee-chats-with-vancouverites">recent trip to Vancouver BC</a>, talks with the mayor and Vancouverites about a proposed bill that would <a href="http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=be19c14c-a67a-4b75-8201-abeea42e44a8&amp;k=16703">deny tax money to filmmakers whose content does not reflect Canadian values.</a> On a recent trip to LA, Lee was asked about how new &#8220;President&#8221; Ma Yingjiu (馬英九）of that province which has been, is, and always will be part of China, will affect the movie bidness there, to which he replied <a href="http://udn.com/NEWS/ENTERTAINMENT/ENT3/4307206.shtml">that this is just a start</a> and that there&#8217;s a long road ahead for the Taiwanese movie industry. To really flourish, Taiwan cannot rely on their market alone, but have to consider the mainland Chinese market.</li>
<li><em>The Forbidden Kingdom</em>, that first and but unfortunately not last collaboration between Jet Li and Jackie Chan, has opened in North America. Some people <a href="http://www.eyeweekly.com/film/onscreen/article/24366">thought it sucked.</a></li>
<li>SARFT states that China&#8217;s film policy <a href="http://estate.chinanews.com.cn/yl/zyxw/news/2008/04-20/1225937.shtml">will continue to improve and move forwards.</a> (Sorry, we were feeling link starved).</li>
<li>A blog post brings up a point that we had heard about months ago regarding Jia Zhangke&#8217;s movie <a href="http://chinafilmjournal.com/2008/03/26/the-world-is-not-enough-has-jia-zhangke-permanently-left-the-art-house/"><em>The Story of 24 City</em> </a><a href="http://cctv.mtime.com/movie/54945/">《24城记》</a>, which is that the Chinese name of the film is identical to the name of a housing development (24 City), whose <a href="http://blog.soufun.com/4882808/1914023/articledetail.htm">developer is also one of the film&#8217;s investors.</a></li>
<li>Speaking of Jia Zhangke, he&#8217;s also been in the news recently because of the upcoming 61st Cannes Film Festival. There are four Chinese films that might make it into the main competition; aside from Jia&#8217;s film, there are films from Wang Quanan (王全安),director of <em>Tuya&#8217;s Wedding</em>, Ying Liang (应亮), and Liu Fendou. The official selection was delayed and will be announced on <a href="http://www.filmofilia.com/2008/04/18/cannes-film-festival-2008-official-selection-will-be-unveiled-on-april-23/">April 23.</a></li>
<li>While trawling through email alerts we found mention of a movie called <a href="http://www.east-west-media.com/aboutthefilm.html"><em>An American in China</em></a> that won some award at the 2008 San Luis Obispo film festival. Here&#8217;s a blurb from that report:<br />
<blockquote><p>Twenty-two year old David is floundering &#8211; stuck in that lazy period between college and &#8220;what am I going to do with the rest of my life?&#8221; Even David&#8217;s best friend, Sha (Anthony Montgomery) and his younger sister Kendra (Alice Greczyn) are concerned about his aimless attitude. (Alice Greczyn will be co-starring with James Marsden (X-MEN, THE NOTEBOOK, 27 DRESSES), in the upcoming film SEX DRIVE directed by Sean Anders.) David&#8217;s parents (Michael Gross and Priscilla Barnes) pressure him to find a direction. They want him to go to China to source factories for the family&#8217;s business, and David eventually does give into his father&#8217;s urging to &#8220;go east young man.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
</li>
<p>Has anyone heard of this film before? Anyone seen it and want to review it?</ul>
