''Mysterious
China''
Film Exhibition at UNI February 10-11
Posted 5 February
2010
The University of Northern Iowa's Chinese Student and Scholar
Association (CSSA) will host Chris Nebe, award-winning documentary
filmmaker, to speak on the past and present of Tibet on Wednesday, Feb.
17. Nebe will speak at 10:15 a.m. and at 3:15 p.m. in the Maucker Union
Ballroom, with open discussions following each session. The events are
free and open to the public.
"The university has been making great efforts to provide a democratic
and multicultural environment for student learning and encourages
American students to learn more about the world and other countries,"
said CSSA President Nan Liang. "In order to provide the university
community with a different perspective on Tibet and the Dalai Lama,
we've invited Nebe to deliver a speech on Tibet, its past and present."
In conjunction with Nebe's visit, students and community members can
view free screenings of Nebe's documentaries. Two "Mysterious China"
film exhibitions will take place from 8:30 to 10 p.m., Wednesday and
Thursday, Feb. 10 and 11, at the Center for Multicultural Education in
UNI's Maucker Union. The exhibition will show three of his films:
"Marco Polo's Roof of the World," "Marco Polo's Silk Road" and "Holy
Mountain."
Nebe has been exploring China's history, culture and society for 15
years. As president of Monarex Hollywood Corporation, he has many years
of experience in the international entertainment industry as a
producer, director, writer and distributor. During his time in Germany,
he distributed 150 motion pictures by critically acclaimed directors
including Ron Howard, Roger Corman, Paul Bartel, Kaneto Shindo and
Jonathan Demme. As producer, some of his credits include
"Heartbreaker," "Rebels," the award-winning film "The Inheritors" and
seven films in the "Mysterious China" franchise.
Nebe's visit is supported by UNI's Dalai Lama Steering Committee,
Northern Iowa Student Government, CSSA and the Chinese Association of
Northern Iowa.
