China 21, a new one-hour documentary, follows four Chinese families as they step into the 21st century. Using compact digital video gear, filmmakers Ruby Yang and Lambert Yam recorded intimate portraits of ordinary people living in tumultuous times. The talk is candid and sometimes emotional. Families are small -- one child in the city, two in the country -- so children hold center stage. Veterans of the Cultural Revolution are saving up to send their son to business school. Another couple, whose son is a prize law student, glow with satisfaction. To insure his children's future, a peasant leaves his remote village to work in the quasi-legal urban job market. A farm family near Shanghai feels manhandled by the privatizing economy. They sacrifice to send their daughter to high school. China 21 introduces otherwise anonymous people whose spark and initiative are changing their country. 　　It was shown on PBS stations during May, 2003 -- Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. For related shows see the Center for Asian American Media site. 　　China 21 was funded by the Independent Television Service, with additional support from the Center for Asian American Media. 　　纪录片《中国一二》，真实反映了中国改革开放二十多年来，新一代年青人的心态以及中国 城乡地区家庭面貌的差异。该片于2002年5月在全美公共电视台 PBS 首度公映，之后还应邀参加香港和欧洲等地多项影展并在世界各地电视台播出，深受好评。

《二十世纪中国女性史》旨在站在世纪之交回眸百年风云，阐述百年中国女性的社会解放历程和心路历程。本片由中国妇女运动史和生活史两部分构成。《二十世纪中国女性史》以二十世纪中国女性活动为线索，反映各个不同历史时期和女性相关的典型人物、典型事件，叙述百年来中国女性的风雨历程。

故事梗概： 　　在英勇善战的亨利八世的治理下英国逐渐从一个欧洲偏远蛮荒的小国发展成为有影响的大国。但是有一个问题一直困扰着亨利八世，那就是他一直没有可以继承王位的子嗣。 　　尽管亨利八世四处留情，许多被他宠幸过的女人都为他生了孩子，这其中也不乏他梦寐以求的男孩。但是那些必定是私生子，在法律上是不被认可的。和亨利八世共度十数载的皇后原本是他哥哥的遗孀，按照父亲的遗愿亨利八世必须娶她为妻。尽管和皇后的感情还算融洽，但除了一个女儿皇后没有给亨利八世生下一个男孩，这让皇后深感内疚。 　　一个偶然的机会，亨利八世结识了一名骑士的女儿安妮，他被安妮的美貌和智慧深深吸引。亨利八世不惜利用权力解除了安妮和波希爵士的婚约，还像个孩子一样不停地给安妮写信，并在收到回信后兴奋得手舞足蹈。但是安妮并不同于亨利八世以前结识的那些女人，她很有头脑。安妮不希望成为亨利八世的情妇，却要做真正意义上的妻子。被爱情冲昏头脑的亨利八世不顾罗马教会和民众的反对，毅然与妻子离婚，并将安妮立为新的皇后。 　　婚后的日子甜蜜而幸福，很快安妮怀上了身孕。但当亨利八世满怀欣喜地等待一个王子的降生时，命运再一次捉弄了他――安妮生下了一名女婴。失落的亨利八世又开始寻欢，经常剩下安妮孤独地留在皇宫里。几年后安妮再次怀孕，却不幸流产。此刻关于安妮与人偷情的传言开始在皇宫里四处流传，盛怒下的亨利八世认为安妮是一个女巫，并下令将她送上断头台…… 　　精彩视点： 　　关于亨利八世这个人物，有多部包括电影在内的文学作品中都曾有对他的记述。与其他历史题材影片不同，亨利八世这个至高无上、一生经历过六次婚姻，在旁人眼中凶残暴虐、荒淫无度的君主在本片中被塑造成一个平民化的国王形象。即便是一国之君，也有喜怒哀乐、有对爱情的执著和必须完成的使命。因此本片中的亨利八世形象更加饱满，更具人性化。英国著名演员雷·温斯顿在本片中的表现可谓入木三分，他将亨利八世光鲜背后的无奈演绎得十分到位。除本片外，雷·温斯顿还曾出演过《冷山》、《亚瑟王》等知名影片。 　　1月27日 14：40 电CCTV-6播出

How a seemingly normal, harmless prince turned into a ruthless tyrant.

In this four and a half hour documentary or filmic tavelogue, Ulrike Ottinger tries to impart new ways of seeing a foreign culture. "In my previous films I have dealt with the themes of exoticism, minorities and their differing role behaviour within their own culture. Now I am interested in expanding this theme, in getting to know a 'real exoticism' in a foreign land and in a different culture. I am attempting to conduct a visual discourse with my camera about exoticism as a question of point-of-view. 　　In making the film, I was influenced by Chinese naturepainting: by the use of the scroll, which not only demands a different method of painting, but a different way of viewing - rolling out the scroll, focusing in on details, wandering to and fro, viewing piecemeal. So if I was filming a market square, for example, I'd pan very slowly and steadily across the square, rather than trying to capture the image in toto. 　　– Ulrike Ottinger

The man who came to be known as King Henry VIII would marry no fewer than six times, in pursuit of not only a male heir, but also of love. It's hard to discern the man from the myth. But it's easy to see that Henry VIII has become the most infamous English King, and is remembered half a millennium later for his romantic passion and his tyrannous rule.
