IN A BETTER WORLD
Join us for a screening of the Danish film, In a Better World, winner
of the 2011
Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. Light refreshments will be served.
“Anton is a doctor who commutes between his home in an idyllic town in
Denmark and his
work at an African refugee camp. In these two very different worlds,
he and his family are
faced with conflicts that lead them to difficult choices between
revenge and forgiveness.
Their friendship is tested and lives are put in danger. Ultimately,
they must come to terms
with the complexity of human emotions, pain and empathy.”
--Sisse Graum Jørgensen, Producer

2:30pm-4:30pm --- Dudley House Common Room
Instructor: Wen-hao Tien
In addition to their meaning, Chinese characters possess aesthetic
qualities and appeal to the psyche. As such, Chinese calligraphy and
painting materials are often a source of inspiration to artists in both
the East and West. In this workshop, we will review traditional and
contemporary Chinese calligraphy and practice these energetic strokes.
It is said that Chinese calligraphy is a "performing art". We will
experience this unique quality by trying out various calligraphy styles.
We will also practice selected subjects in traditional Chinese painting
as it is branched out from the same principle.
No painting experience or understanding of Chinese is required.
Registration required for this workshop.
