Beijing Academy Awards for Documentary.  First Prize for Innovation and First Prize for Sound Design

China Documentary Awards for Academia.  First Prize

I am so honoured to win first prize for best documentary this weekend, 2nd November 2019, in Jinan, Shandong province, for my latest film, The Sea Hut, a documentary on my mother and her Chinese nanny, set in Shanghai, 1935. 


Wow! I'm taken aback. 

I have to add, without help from my dear old mama who told me her story over two years, Wang Ying, my colleague, some of my students, my school, the BFAMCMC, and the fishing village down the road, well it would not have happened. A film is always teamwork.


This annual event is a transnational Chinese collegial association event for visual art and academia. Comprised of Chinese scholars, thinkers, writers, artists, professors and graduate students, it rates as one of the most respected meetings in China. (Just had to put all that in.) So . . . I was blown away, and nervous. I did not say all I wanted, you can see in the video. . . But hey! I am still getting over a major brain surgery and feeling so grateful.


The Sea Hut  is now officially on its way.

The Blue Book of Film  2018-2021 -
proofreading and editing

Wang Ying and I - had the honor to work with the Management Department of the BFA – Beijing Film Academy, Qingdao Campus - over six months, helping with the proofs and translation. We are extremely proud, and have been invited to join the team yearly to revise and update the statistics on the Chinese film market.


The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional production companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. (Routledge -
2021)

The Blue Book of Film, an ambitious project which has been in the making for the past five years with over 17 writers and academics contributing, has been approved by UNESCO and printed in two languages – English and Chinese

 
Qingdao is officially one of the 180 cultural cities which are a part of UNESCO'S CREATIVE CITY NETWORK bringing together seven disciplines: Crafts and Folk Art, Design, Gastronomy, Literature, Media Arts and Music. “To foster innovation and creativity as key drivers for a more sustainable and inclusive urban development.”
