  2. In celebration of the U-M Center for Chinese Studies’ 50th anniversary, we have reserved the historic Michigan Theater in downtown Ann Arbor for a one-time showing of A City of Sadness (悲情城市; bei qíng chéng shì, Taiwan, 157 minutes), the 1989 Taiwanese film by director Hou Hsiao Hsien.  The film was the first to deal openly with the KMT’s authoritarian misdeeds after its 1945 turnover of Taiwan from Japan, and the first to depict the “228 Incident” of 1947, in which thousands of people were massacred.  A City of Sadness has the added distinction of being the first Chinese-language film to win the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival.

Featured Event

  1. Wed, 11/16, 8pm, MLB, Aud. 1, Free!
  2. The central front in the battle for America’s energy future, with enormous consequences for the health and economic prospects of every citizen, is the fight for Appalachian coal. In valleys and on mountaintops throughout the heart of the eastern seaboard, the coal industry detonates the explosive power of a Hiroshima bomb each and every week, shredding timeless landscape to bring coal wealth to a few, and leaving devastated communities and poisoned water to many. With politicians siding with their corporate donors, it falls to a rag tag army of local activists to stand alone for the welfare of their families, their heritage and for a principled and sound energy future. Our film is their film – the uplifting story of the power of ordinary citizens to remake the future when they have the determination and courage to do so.
