First ALART Salon

Our first official Image Tunnel Salon—Alart finally kicked off on 14th June, 2008! Apologies for our delayed updates, in fact it’s my fault; Lupin has been working so hard designing the posters and emailing the photos to me soon after she’s done with them in Lightroom, but I have been so busy lately working on other projects as well, working during the day and by the time I am holding my bowl of rice, it’s already 12.00am.

The salon was indeed very exciting; we showed a couple of movies (you may refer to our program notes in our previous blog entry), with topics revealing modern China; from sex and relationships in the “post-80″ generation, and a love story between a young couple in the village.

Following was a chit-chat session between the audience and the directors, and Kavin Zhang, director of “80 Hormones”, shared insights and tips about the life of a freelance director.

Alart ended with a surprise performance by a guitarist; Prof Han invited him to participate our Salon, but nobody would have expected him to play!
