We went with friends to see the Chinese movie at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art yesterday evening. It wasn't totally clear why it was called Summer Palace - though there were some scenes in a boat on a lake that could well have been at the Summer Palace in Beijing. This was an interesting movie because the year we spent in Hong Kong began a couple months after Tiananmen, a key event in this movie. Plus, much of the movie takes place at Beijing University and I've taught at nearby People's University and visited the Beijing University campus. But it was long (almost 2 1/2 hours) and I had trouble keeping track of who was who.
But before the movie, we talked to some of the artists in the atrium, including this glass maker, John Vincent.
