<p><em></em>Dear Colleagues and Friends,</p>
<p>We’re delighted to announce a very exciting upcoming event: from 1st to 3rd December, Wu Wenguang, one of the most important and influential Chinese documentary makers, will be coming to London to take part in a free programme of screenings and discussions at King’s College London:</p>
<p>‘Documenting the Memory of China’s Great Famine: Wu Wenguang and the Folk Memory Project’</p>
<p>In the Folk Memory Project, China’s first independent documentary maker Wu Wenguang encouraged his young colleagues from Caochangdi Work Station in Beijing to go back to the villages to talk to their grandparents and the other villagers about an event they knew little about — the famine that killed tens of millions of people in China in 1960-61. Largely the result of the disastrous “Great Leap Forward” project, the famine is rarely spoken about today. This significant oral history project raises questions about the reliability of memory, the tension between cultural memory and official history, and the value of remembering.</p>
<p>In this very special programme, we are delighted to be able to present films from the project with their directors, Zou Xueping and Zhang Mengqi, as well as a panel discussion on the project and the famine, where they will be joined by historian Harriet Evans (University of Westminster) and anthropologist Stephan Feuchtwang (LSE). Finally, we will also Wu Wenguang’s own personal memory project film and tribute to his mother, Treatment. Synopses of the films and directors’ statements are in the attachment.</p>
<p>All events take place at King’s College London, Strand campus and are FREE ENTRY. Please book tickets.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Luke Robinson Luke Robinson <lahrobinson@me.com></p>
