So starting this month, we are be experimenting with changing the Day and Time of our programs.  This time, we’ll be trying out Monday, 7-9PM.

Come and meet Natalie Kim, who’s been working on a Web-Series called “Supertwins”.  She first had a reading of “Supertwins” here at Unfinished Works, and now we can see how she got from then to here, the finished product.

She will discuss her journey and the process she took to develop this project from start to finish and her plans moving forward with it.  Then we’ll get to screen some of Supertwins with a Q&A afterwards.

LU CHUAN’S MASTERFUL EPIC “CITY OF LIFE AND DEATH” OPENS ON MAY 11

Posted: Friday, April 29, 2011

LU CHUAN’S MASTERFUL EPIC “CITY OF LIFE AND DEATH” OPENS ON MAY 11

On December 9, 1937, the Imperial Japanese Army laid siege to the Chinese capital of Nanking, beginning a reign of terror that killed as many as 300,000 civilians—an infamous tragedy now referred to as the Rape of Nanking. The first big-budget fiction film by the Chinese to deal with this seminal event in their modern history, CITY OF LIFE AND DEATH follows those caught in the crossfire: a young Chinese general who leads a platoon in street fighting; the German businessman John Rabe, who establishes a safety zone to protect the lives of countless Chinese; and a Japanese officer conflicted by the brutality of his commander. A runaway hit with audiences in China, the film is a visceral, heartbreaking portrait of life during wartime, and an unforgettable masterpiece of contemporary world cinema.
