In this landmark travel series, award-winning presenter Denise Keller embarks on a profound personal passage to explore one of the world's greatest continous "living" cultures - China. Today China offers by far the greatest canvas displaying a phenomenal picture of a living, breathing culture. A place where it is possible to straddle the ancient, the medieval and the modern all in one. 　　ART OF LIFE 　　Presenter Denise Keller explores the vast artistic landscape of China through its rich culture of performing arts. She begins in Beijing with musicians and craftsmen who keep alive the ancient sounds of the Guqin instrument. Oscar-winning composer Tandun gives her unparallled access to his spectacular concerts in the ancient capital Xian and the “Water Heavens” of Zhujiajiao in Shanghai. The ancient town also sets a Ming Dynasty garden stage for the contemporary revival of a centuries-old classical Kunqu Opera show called Peony Pavillion. But hours of face-painting, elaborate costumes and intense coaching are first needed to try out for a lead role. Denise then sets off into the rural villages of Jianxi to explore the 5,000 year old rituals of the Nuo Dance. Finally, she returns to Beijing to rehearse with the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe as they display the breathtaking “Dance of a Thousand Hands”. 　　 　　ICONS OF CULTURE 　　Presenter Denise Keller sets out to explore some of the most iconic products synonymous with China's cultural identity. The monumental terraces of the Hani in Yunnan lead her on a rice trail to the ancient water town of Shaoxing to discover cottage industries which have for centuries created China's most iconic beverage. In Hangzhou, she plunges into the tea culture of Longjing's lush gardens. In Jingdezhen, Jianxi, she meets artists who show her how a continous culture of innovation has made it the porcelain capital of the world for hundreds of years. Suzhou in Jiangsu takes Denise back in time to experience highly sophisticated silk production techniques that made it the historical centre of a fabric that put China of the map of international commerce. Finally, fast forward to the 21st century, she discovers a brave new wave in Shanghai's contemporary art scene that's creating new icons of the future.

You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 　　Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York 　　The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. 　　Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. 　　We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. 　　The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. 　　They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. 　　For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!
