Chinese Culture Center Presents C4

By Abby Chen

You might ask, what is C4? C4 stands forChinese Culture Center Cinema. With

films and follow up discussion, C4 is a

program designed to connect with the di-

verse and changing Chinese community in

San Francisco Bay Area.

C4 will showcase films with true-to-life

portrayals of Chinese, rich in diversity,

and deeply rooted in a dynamic society.

In the 1990s, China became one of the

fastest growing economies in the world.

Its entry to the World Trade Organizationhas further intensified its interaction with

the global community. China's economic

success has, however, often overshadowed

the political, social and cultural changes

that have been taking place in the past two

decades. Many people in the West who

have limited experience or knowledge

about contemporary China continue to

view China as a culture full of unchanging

traditions. Perhaps it is time for this huge

nation to be understood: its people, its

culture, and its history.

Screening Schedule:

June 3, 1:00 PMOpening: Nostalgia (Reel China Biennial Grand

Reward) &Guarding Shangri-la

Nostalgia is the winner of the Reel China 2006

Best Documentary Award. This is a break-

through film about the transformation of Shang-

hai's urban environment. When filmmaker Shu

Haolun hears that hisboyhood neighborhood of

traditional Shikumen housing he grew up in is

slated for demolition, Shu takes his DV camera

back home. Moving between chats with

grandma, walks through the old alleyways, and

re-enactments of his childhood, the Nostalgia is

an entertaining but pointed and poignant diary

about the heavy price to be paid for urban devel-

opment.

Remark from the jury: "It is not just a personal

history, but also a critical look at social values.

Who actually 'owns' this neighborhood? The

residents? And who defines what is "best" for

the neighborhood, and for those who live there?

These are important questions, and not just in

China. This film raises questions that not only

China - or, more accurately Shanghai - faces,

but also questions that apply to cities around theworld."

June 17, 1:00 PMScreenings: White Tower &Modern Fortress

Besieged

White Tower is the first Chinese documentary

that focuses on the emotional lives of the hear-

ing impaired. Best First Film Award, Marseille

In my spare time-the few moments

between community events, board

meetings, grant writing, and budgets-I

have been planning my wedding.

Blake and I wanted to elope, but our

families wouldn't let us. They said we

needed to celebrate, as families joining

together. My family and relatives are

immigrants from Taiwan; Blake's fam-

ily is 5th generation Oregonian. There

are people coming in from Taiwan, Ja-

pan, Germany, and Falls City, Oregon.

Everybody has an opinion, of course.

Food, location, ceremony, who gets

invited and who doesn't. Do we have a

tea ceremony? (Yes, but my parents

have declared they will be embar-

rassed.) Do we have a Chinese ban-

quet? (Yes, but don't order the jelly-

fish.) Would Blake's relatives eat the

shark fin's soup? (Maybe.) Would my

family be offended if there was no

shark's fin soup? (Probably.) Couldn't

we just have pizza instead?

Being director of the Chinese Culture

Center is a lot like planning a wedding:

there are a lot of opinions about food,

location, and who's invited to the table.

In the end, we still have to be family.

It's a big wedding. From our In Search

of Roots interns, to Chinese-American

emerging artists, to the Cantonese-

speaking Chinatown immigrant,

"Chinese Culture" must encompass

both shark's fin soup and pizza.

This spring and summer, CCC is lo

ing to serve up a healthy helping

"Chinese Culture," starting with

programming for May, Asian Pac

American Heritage Month. Join us

our panel discussion on May

"Mirror on the Wall: a Conversati

between American-Born and Chin

Immigrants." With this forum, we h

to explore dynamics currently fac

our community: divisions between

migration status, language access,

acculturation issues.

We also look forward to the premi

of C4: Chinese Culture Center Cinem

a series screening independent Chin

documentaries. C4 seeks to bring

our community a discussion of conte

porary issues facing China, issues s

as the vast economic, social, cultu

and political changes of the 21st c

tury. What affects China is relevant

only to the Chinese community here

the Bay Area, but also ripples to

rest of the world, even in Falls COregon. (Oregon, by the way, is

largest exporter of grass seed to Chin

I hope you will join us this spring

summer at the Chinese Culture Cen

Blake and I will be married in June

Portland, Oregon. After that, I hope

bring my in-laws back to the Bay A

for a jellyfish pizza.

Activities

Present Tense Continues to Showcase Young Artists

By Abby Chen

Currently on exhibit in the gal-

lery is Present Tense, Artwork

by Emerging Chinese Ameri-

can Artists. This exhibit, pre-

sented in partnership with

Kearny Street Workshop, is

likely the first of its kind to

promote young Chinese-

Americans' artistic VISIOn.

Present Tense shows a layer of

expression springing from a

rich Chinese culture, a layer

that is a continuation of the

Chinese experience. We hope

Present Tense, through visual

art, can connect inter-generations in Chinese com-

munities.

Due to conflict of aesthetic

experiences between their eth-

nic homeland and adopted en-

vironment, descendants of im-

migrants have discovered new

soil and context. As demon-

-'. .!. . .!__,_._._,. ._,_._,--'--'-"-"-'-"~ strated in their artwork, young

Chinese Americans have gen-

erated a brand new way of self-

Artwork entitled Unomao by Niana Liu

expression, and formed their uniq

cognitive process as well as cultu

morphology. Moreover, they activ

seek meaning in a densely connect

modern world and externalize th

point of view.

The young Chinese American artis

vision is audacious, unconvention

and expansive. They intensively co

municate and interact with the Ame

can mainstream art world and As

American community. Their works

injected with a strong component

both local insight and global influenc

Since the exhibit opening, we have

tracted some new audiences to the cter; one of these is KQED's Gall

Crawl. KQED not only featured

exhibit, but also helped us reach ou

a much broader community. We h

our exhibit will develop the recogniti

and inclusion of Chinese American

ists, bringing more exposure to Chin

traditional and contemporary cultu

diversity. The Present Tense exh

will be on display at CCC's gallery

til May 19,2007.

Cheers to Muses Debut

By Abby Chen

Chinese Culture Center is proud to

work with the Asian American WomenArtists Association (AAWAA) to bring

this exhibit to CCC gallery. Cheers to

Muses curated by Cynthia Tom, show-

cases work by select visual artists and

writers from the anthology in tribute to

the muses who have inspired their

work. Exhibiting artists include: Cyn-

thia Tom, Amy Lam, Christina Mazza,'

Susan Almazol, Lenore Chinn, Kay

Kang, and Terry Acebo Davis. Writers

include: Nancy Hom, Vanessa Merina,

Olivia Boler, and Anh-Hoa ThiNguyen.

What distinguishes this unique anthol-

ogy from many others are the moving

dedications, written by the contributors,

to non-familial Asian American women

whose lives or works have influenced

and inspired their own. These heartfelt
