Four Corners Arts Center Presents the Film Ai Weiwei, Never Sorry

The Four Corners Arts Center is pleased to
present the film “Ai Wei Wei, Never
Sorry” as part of their ongoing Fall Film Series at the Meeting House on Wednesday,
October 2, 2013 7:30 p.m.  This event is
FREE & OPEN to the PUBLIC.

Ai Weiwei is China's most famous international artist,
and its most outspoken domestic critic. Against a backdrop of strict censorship
and an unresponsive legal system, Ai expresses himself and organizes people
through art and social media. In response, Chinese authorities have shut down
his blog, beat him up, bulldozed his newly built studio, and held him in secret
detention.

AI WEIWEI: NEVER
SORRY is the inside story of a dissident for the
digital age who inspires global audiences and blurs the boundaries of art and
politics. First-time director Alison Klayman gained unprecedented access to Ai
while working as a journalist in China. Her detailed portrait provides a
nuanced exploration of contemporary China and one of its most compelling public
figures

"One of the Top 10 Movies of the Year."  New York
Magazine

"A galvanizing documentary; An intimate portrait of
the artist." The New York Times

"Alison Klayman's documentary is one of the most
engagingly powerful movies of the year." Boston Globe

"Freelance journalist turned first-time director,
Ms. Klayman has pulled off an impressive coup... The film's greatest
distinction is its intimacy. Ai's is a special kind of courage, and it impels
him to act with special agility in a brave new world of his own making, where
little tweets can challenge big lies and a blog post can echo like thunder."
