“Please don’t worry, come to China.” That was the message delivered by China Film Co-production Corporation president Zhang Xun [pictured] at the Us-China Film Summit in downtown Los Angeles today.
Zhang was one of the luncheon speakers at the event, staged for the fourth year running by the Asian Society Southern California and Entertainment & Media in Asia. Speaking to an audience estimated by the organisers at 4-500, Zhang urged Us and Chinese film makers to get past their cultural differences and work together more often.

You’d be right, to a degree, but this is a documentary I could not recommend high enough to those looking for a good antidote of the steroid-fueled antics of your local superheroes currently decimating the box office.
What I loved most about Jig is the way director Sue Bourne looks at these dancers.
