Movie: "STILL LIFE"
"Majestic... an extremely beautiful movie. Jia [is] a master filmmaker." - David Denby, The New Yorker
"The best film of the year." - La liste des lecteurs, Cahiers du Cinema
"One of the world's most important filmmakers... A human triumph." - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
"Jia's finest film yet... quietly powerful. One viewing is not enough to absorb STILL LIFE." - Andrew O'Hehir, Salon
A peerless chronicler of China's astonishing, relentless pursuit of change, Jia Zhang-ke's (The World, Platform) latest feature is set in Fengjie, a small city soon to be submerged by the waters of the massive Three Gorges Dam. As crews demolish entire blocks and Fengjie prepares to disappear, two travelers come to town looking for a link to the past -- a coal miner searching for the wife who left him over a decade ago and the daughter he's never met, and a nurse seeking a divorce from the husband she hasn't seen in two years.
NR, China, 2007, 108 minutes. In Mandarin with English subtitles
A film by Jia Zhang-ke

Students and Real-World Writing
A Notice from English Department, Writing Center---
"As a means of expanding students' sense of audience, deepening their investment in writing, and making explicit the link between composition and the "real world," we are inaugurating a student writing competition, open to any student enrolled in a Composition course during Spring 2008. More details to follow, but the gist is that eligible students can submit *any* piece of writing they think is excellent (produced in your class, or not; related to your class, or not). The student writing award will be funded by Collide: You will likely recall that neither editors nor contributors to Collide have received or will receive royalties from the text; in lieu of royalties, the publisher sets aside $1 from the sale of each text, and with this money we will fund the student writing awards."
