Dear Friends,
Klaus Bardenhagen has a color film made in 1969 about Taiwan by Hamburg public TV, so we are using this as the occasion for a get-together to review (in English)Taiwan history of the 1970′s with this and some other short films. Please put out the word to your e-mail distribution lists!
The location is my university, Taipei Medical University, which is located a block behind the Taipei Medical U. Hospital at 250 Wuxing St. (Room 8008, in the basement of the Combined Bldg, Tsong Ho Da Lou). The university is about midway between the Liuzhangli MRT station and the 101 Bldg (15 min walk from either); buses 1, 22, 226, and 266, 288, also Blue 5, go near.
Time is 7 pm to about 9:30 pm Thursday July 23, but we will keep going as long as an audience stays. The first German film is 25 minutes, just general scenes of streets and industry; a second German film shows Chiang Kai-shek’s funeral in 1975. Klaus will translate. Then I have a film about the Taiwan human rights cases of the 1970′s (English subtitles), and one about Taiwan women workers about the same time.
The room holds 35; it would be nice if people who are coming will respond, so we can get a bigger room in advance if we exceed that number. My office is on the second floor of the Combined Bldg., front section, so those coming early can drop it. There is an Italian restaurant, Mr. J., right next door too.
Linda
