SUMMARY:Double Happiness - Metro Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Asian Canadian Film Series\nCurated by Alexis Kienlen \nMay is Asian heritage month and I am delighted to be the curator of Metro Cinema’s first Asian Canadian film series. In a time when we are talking the whitewashing of Hollywood\, and #Oscarssowhite\, it is even more important to showcase Asian Canadian films and Asian-Canadian stories. As a person of mixed Asian descent\, I grew up seeing very little of my extended family’s culture or history reflected on screen. It is my hope that this film series will introduce you to homegrown talent\, educate you\, make you laugh\, scare you\, and encourage you to talk about Asian Canadian history and identity. Special thanks to: Mari Sasano\, Suzette Chan\, Kathryn Lennon\, Erin Fraser and Nathan Smith. \n  \nDouble Happiness \nJade Li (Sandra Oh)\, a young Chinese-Canadian\, wants to become an actress without upsetting her extremely traditional parents.

SUMMARY:Human Harvest
DESCRIPTION:When reports first emerged from China in 2006 that state-run hospitals were killing prisoners of conscience to sell their organs\, it seemed too horrible to believe. But as researchers around the world–including human rights lawyer David Matas and former Canadian Member of Parliament David Kilgour–began to uncover the mystery\, the true picture became all too clear. Their evidence suggests that tens of thousands of innocent people have been killed on demand to supply an ongoing illegal organ transplant industry. The story of how these two Nobel Peace Prize nominees pieced together the evidence and continue to fight against this industrial-scale crime against humanity is a riveting tale of both personal triumphs and unimaginable horror. \nFilm & Panel Discussion \nSpecial Guests: David Kilgour\, Former Edmonton MP\, Nobel Peace Prize Nominee \nCharl Els\, MD\, Associate Clinical Professor\, Advisory Board DAFOH (Nominee: 2016 Nobel Peace Prize)

SUMMARY:The Last Crayon
DESCRIPTION:Diversus Media Group is proud to present The Last Crayon screening. \nFilm directed by Henry Poon and Jeremy Yung. \nDirector Jeremy Yung will be at the theatre to meet the audience and answer questions. \nFive elementary school students join the choir and become friends. After rushing to the hospital due to food poisoning\, the suspect points to the fried tofu brought by Ting’s mom. Incidentally the destination of the choir’s summer exchange is the tofu production base\, shifting the trip into an investigative journey. During excursion on the last day\, they get lost in the rural hills and have to face hunger\, fear and possible death. Only by accident do they find out Kathy’s pack of crayons can be burned as candles\, their last hope. But as the crayon sticks dwindle away into the night\, it becomes clear that if all were to survive\, one of them has to make a sacrifice before the last crayon is out… \nThe movie is in Cantonese with English and Chinese subtitles. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/thelastcrayon/?fref=ts \nTickets: & Info: 780 909 2928 or paulc@diversusmg.com \n

SUMMARY:Hideki Yamakawa's Infinite Reoccurrence
DESCRIPTION:Hideki Yamakawa’s Infinite Reoccurrence\nMade of arrangements of logs\, sticks and other deadfall\, Yamakawa has created an all but anonymous sculpture garden — camouflaged from a distance\, ranging in topography and scale from small rings of woven branches around single trees to something that could pass as high-end conceptual architecture\, if developed by beavers. \nHideki Yamakawa’s giant art piece\, Infinite Reoccurrance. The large-scale sculptural installation made of natural deadfall is in the forest at the south end of Range Road 275 against the north bank of the North Saskatchewan River about half an hour from southwest from West Edmonton Mall.  \nTo get there\, as the crow flies south of Spruce Grove\, find and head south on Range Road 275\, past Township Road 505\, until it arrives at Honeyvale Acres. The site is 250 meters south-southeast of that subdivision sign on crown land. \nYamakura’s solo show opens Saturday\, April 2\, running through\, its announcement glibly declares\, infinity. Intentionally meant to deteriorate\, it runs along over 500 meters of forest\, a thing to see\, an event which should linger in memory for a long time. \nhttp://edmontonjournal.com/entertainment/local-arts/japanese-artist-faces-infinity-on-north-saskatchewan-riverbank \nWhere: North bank of North Saskatchewan River at bottom of Range Road 275 south \nWhen: 1 p.m. Saturday\, April 2 through infinity \nAdmission: Free\, wear gear suitable for a forest walk

SUMMARY:Mastering the game of Go - can a computer program beat a human champion?
DESCRIPTION:When: 4 p.m. Monday\, March 14 \nWhere: 1-140 Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Science (CCIS)\, University of Alberta \nIn a January 27 publication in the Journal Nature\, a team of researchers at Google Deepmind\, led by two University of Alberta alumni\, announced their program AlphaGo\, which plays the ancient Asian game of Go at a professional level. Now\, AlphaGo is challenging a top human player\, the legendary Lee Sedol\, in a five-game match. \nThis talk\, which will be given the day after the first game of the match\, outlines the main ideas that have led to this breakthrough result and how it builds on earlier basic research\, much of which was accomplished by researchers from the University of Alberta’s Department of Computing Science. \nThe talk will include a discussion of some of the wider implications of the work behind AlphaGo\, and will be accessible to a general audience. It will be followed by an update in about a week\, after the end of the match. \nhttps://youtu.be/g-dKXOlsf98\n\nNo registration required.

SUMMARY:Picturing Social Justice in Early Modern China and England
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Prof. Martin Powers (University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, U.S.A.) \nLocation: TELUS International Centre (Room 134) (light lunch provided after) \nIn 1741 Richard Hatchett adapted the Chinese play The Orphan of Zhao as a vehicle for exposing Robert Walpole’s corruption and abuse of power. What Hatchett viewed as corruption\, most Englishmen saw as privilege\, the inherited rights of a lord\, but then this was the debate of the moment. More than 1500 years earlier that same story featured in stone engravings in China\, also as a means of exposing a minister’s corruption and abuse of power. Those engravings were the beginning of a long tradition of literary and pictorial exposes of social injustice in China. Artists in England likewise developed socially conscious pictures during the decades just prior to Hatchett’s intervention.  Arguably\, in both instances\, the appearance of politicized art resulted from the demands of an increasingly literate and independent-minded audience. This lecture explores the implications of parallel development and direct interaction between China and England during the long 18th century.
