SUMMARY:SAM Films: Coronation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for screenings of films related to Ai\, Rebel: The Art and Activism
  of Ai Weiwei curated by FOONG Ping\, SAM Foster Foundation Curator of Chin
 ese Art. These films are provided courtesy of Ai Weiwei Studio.\nCoronation
 \, 2020\nVideo (1 hour\, 53 minutes)\nCoronation portrays China’s state mac
 hinery in action during crisis management\, focusing on the suffering of in
 dividuals due to the severe social-control measures taken during lockdown i
 n Wuhan\, the epicenter of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Functioning as his
  eyes and ears on the ground\, a crew hired by Ai filmed covertly\, with co
 ntributions from volunteers. In Europe during the pandemic\, Ai remotely mo
 bilized these amateur cinematographers. China’s tight controls undoubtedly 
 flattened the curve of its casualty count but had their own terrible costs.
  From safety pep rallies to individual tragedies\, the personal experiences
  recorded here are poignant and enlightening.\nTickets\nFree with RSVP
