SUMMARY:Work of the Week Celebrates Asian Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Alberta Foundation of the Arts \nFor this week’s Work of the Week\, we are highlighting a few of the diverse artworks in our collection by Canadians of Asian descent\, because May is Asian Heritage Month in Canada! \nAsian Heritage Month is a time to learn about and celebrate the many contributions of Canadians of Asian descent\, who have done so much to make our country an amazing place to live. Immigrants to Canada from East Asia\, Southern Asia\, Western\, Central and Southeast Asia have brought with them a rich cultural history\, including diverse languages\, art\, religions and traditions. \nThis year’s Asian Heritage Month comes at a time when Canadians of Asian descent have been facing an increase in anti-Asian hate and violence. That’s why it’s important to take this time to acknowledge and appreciate the achievements of Asian-Canadians and to stand together against all forms of anti-Asian racism. \nPlease enjoy these artworks by Chin Shek Lam\, Diana Un-Jin Cho and Do-Hee Sung. \nhttps://www.affta.ab.ca/news/work-week-celebrates-asian-heritage-month \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Screening – Center Stage (2019)
DESCRIPTION:International superstar Maggie Cheung (In the Mood for Love) embodies tragic screen siren Ruan Lingyu\, known as the “Greta Garbo of China\,” in this unconventional biopic by Hong Kong New Wave master Stanley Kwan (Rouge). Praised for her moving and emotive onscreen presence\, Ruan’s private life\, which was frequent fodder for the vicious Shanghai tabloids\, began to mirror the melodramas which brought her fame\, culminating in her suicide at age 24. \nKwan and Cheung paint a kaleidoscopic yet intimate portrait of the ill-fated actress\, deftly blending lush period drama\, archival footage\, and metatextual documentary sequences of Cheung reflecting on Ruan’s legacy. The result is\, much like the films of Ruan Lingyu themselves\, “tender\, vivid and almost overwhelmingly moving” (Time Out). \nHong Kong 1991\, 154 min\, Dir: Stanley Kwan\nCantonese\, Mandarin\, & English with subtitles
