O+ Blood Donors Needed ASAP

There is no admission charge, but we ask for voluntary donations at the end of the movie to support the program and help pay for the video system. ----- Sunday, November 13: Postmen in the Mountains (Chinese with English subtitles) From the high-tech action, tension, and violence of last weeks screening of Leo DiCaprio in "Inception," this week we journey to the lush and peaceful mountains of China's Hunan Province. No cars or trucks, no bustling modern cities - just gorgeous peaceful country and village settings. LINK to Roger Ebert's review. Description: Postmen in the Mountains tells the story of an old man (Ten Rujun) who for years served as the postman for rural mountain communities. Retiring, he hands over his job to his son (Liu Ye), but accompanies him on the first tour. Together, they deliver mail on a 230 li (about 115 km) long walking route into the rural heart of China and in the process the son learns from the mails' recipients more about the father he hardly knew. It was filmed on location in Suining County and Dao County, in southwestern and southern Hunan. A portion of the film takes place in a village of the Dong people, including an evening festival featuring a lusheng dance. The film is set in the beautiful mountain regions of western Hunan province in the early 1980s. At the film's start, a young man (Liu Ye) begins his first walking journey as a postman in the rural mountain region. His father (Ten Rujun), a veteran postman forced to retire due to a bad knee, decides to accompany him together with the family's faithful dog, Buddy. The father walks his son through the basics of the job, and the son realizes the mailman job entails not just the sending of letters. He witnesses his father's deep friendship with the villagers, and participates in a wedding celebration with the Dong people. The film includes a number of memory flashbacks, as well as many pop songs played on the son's transistor radio. Link to trailer . (Poor quality trailer - the actual movie will be much better.)
