No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

The School of Literature, Communication, and Culture has partnered with the High Museum to present the Independent Chinese Cinema Series from April 2-16, 2011.
Here is a brief introduction of the program: China. Youth. Pain. Hope. Migration. Home. Education. Work. Reality. Dream. Those are some of the key themes and central sentiments you will discover in the three gems selected from the increasingly prominent corpus of independent Chinese cinema. Through them we hope to offer a brief yet fruitful insight in Chinese society today, as updated as within the past decade, and try together to understand and perhaps share the country's changes, charms, and challenges as experienced and contemplated by the Chinese not only as groups but also as individuals.
