Autumn Gem: A Documentary on China's First FeministA free screening of new documentary film Autumn Gem and Q&A session with filmmakers Rae Chang and Adam Tow.
Tuesday, March 23, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Marjorie Barrick Museum Auditorium
Autumn Gem explores the extraordinary life of the Chinese revolutionary heroine Qiu Jin (1875-1907). An accomplished writer, women's rights advocate, and leader of a revolutionary army, Qiu Jin boldly challenged traditional gender roles and demanded equal rights and opportunities for women. Compared to a "Chinese Joan of Arc," she emerged as a national heroine who redefined what it meant to be a woman in early 20th-century China.
The event is cosponsored by Asian Film and Drama Club, Asian Studies Program, Department of Foreign Languages, and US-China Peoples Friendship Association. For more information about the film, please visit http://autumn-gem.com.
As this occurred last night, I'm sad about posting it now (although I just found out about it). We'll definitely keep you posted on upcoming film events at the Barrick Museum.
