Two new books are being launched in Beijing this weekend. Nothing Gained by Phillip Kim, a thriller set in the banking world of Hong Kong, will have its debut as part of The Bookworm Literary Festival on Saturday. Our review of the book includes more details about that event, which offers free drinks courtesy of Penguin China.
On Sunday, Tom Carter will debut his latest book, Unsavory Elements, an anthology of tales about foreigners on the loose in China at The Capital Literary Festival. The collection includes pieces by big names like Peter Hessler and Audra Ang. You can read more about that book and some great excerpts from it here. We?re expecting both of these events to sell out, so reserve your tickets quickly.
Asian Cinema Week took off last night with their screening of Mongolian Bling at Yugong Yishan. Screenings will continue at Zajia this Saturday with a double bill of independent films from Malaysia and China entitled 15Malaysia and Old Dog, respectively. On a side note, Electric Shadows have told us that their main screening venue, Riverbank bar and Caf?, has shut down. They have moved their regular events to Caffe O?Henry's.
Irish Wave 2013, a visual arts collaboration between Ireland and China, is invading Beijing and Shanghai with a number of exhibitions opening in 798. We recommend "A Tale of Two Cities ? Dublin/Beijing" at Nuo Art Gallery. The pieces will offer some interesting comparisons between the two metropolises.
And to end on a sexier note: Sofitel Wanda just opened an exclusive photo exhibition of the French supermodel Brigitte Bardot (as seen in the video above). Stunning stuff.
