Date: 25 May 2007 Time: 19:00 Venue: Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), The Mall, London SW1Y 5AH BD4D returns to the ICA with an outstanding line up of presenters. A number of Three Minute Madness sessions are scheduled to take place on the night. Three Minute madness presents creatives with the opportunity to showcase their latest work and ideas to the rest of the community. The essence of Three Minute Madness is to give people a chance to splash out and break away from the restrictive confines of their professional work and present their ideas in a time slot of between 3 to 10 minutes. BD4D feels strongly that there is a powerful reason behind the drive to create: it's about having the freedom to talk about those deep motivations and ideas in a non-threatening environment. This event will encourage and inspire designers and people in the technology field. Join us, meet new people and talk about what you really love.

Some of films will be showed in London on April. (Curzon Soho is one of cinemas) However, I am sure next year at the time of Beijing Olympic, it will be more events about China. It seems like there is only one colour represent China -RED! Bellowing list is the films which will be showed. Categories have been defined into ‘Shanghai in the 1930s’, ‘China on the brink of change’, ‘Action,melodrama and realism in the three chinas’, ‘Focus on Zhang Yimou’, ‘Fifth generation (directors)’, ‘Sixth generation’,'Beijing Film Academy’,'The movies of Xie Fei’, ‘The movies of Maggie Cheung’. ‘Cinema China Education’.I will try to find the chinese name to match the english titles.
