Many thanks to Julie for passing the following information to me. November 16th, 2011 will mark the official opening of the first U.S.-China Forum on The Arts and Culture in Beijing. This four-day event will involve the participation of an extraordinary line-up of American cultural icons, including Meryl Streep, film director Joel Coen, musician Yo-Yo Ma, among others, who will engage in dialogue and perform with their Chinese counterparts. A special screening of “The Iron Lady” will be held on Nov. 19, 2011 at 7:30pm local time, in the National Museum of China, with a follow-up discussion after the screening.

I find it strange that the film should have some kind of “premiere” in
China when it skipped so many opportunities at film festivals in the U.S and Britain.

WOW! CHINA! I can’t wait for the interviews to start coming. The film represents the work of our favorite American icon, so I’m sure that is why it is being shown. How interesting to be able to work with Chinese counterparts and it is a great honor to be invited to the very FIRST one of these forums for both the Americans and the Chinese! Yet another amazing honor for Meryl:)

Meryl maybe an American icon but the film is a British film not American so it doesn’t really represent American culture.
