Just found out that the China Institute is having a free screening tonight (Thursday, Feb. 25) of the film MAO’S LAST DANCER. Here’s what they say:

MAO’S LAST DANCER is based on Li Cunxin’s best-selling autobiography, chronicling his journey from a grueling apprenticeship as a classical dancer in communist China to the glory of creative freedom and international stardom.  MAO’S LAST DANCER captures the intoxicating effects of first love, celebrity and the triumph of individual endeavor.
