LPE International Networking Society - LPE Society English aims at
helping Chinese adults learn English in
a more scientific and systematic way, by providing real environmental
learning. At LPE, students build their knowledge through a three-fold
process. They start with language input from computer, then enhance
their knowledge with classroom teaching and finally turn knowledge
into practical skills. Students learn English through real life
scenarios within an environment that makes learning more comfortable
and effective.


Shanghai Independent Film Assn. supports the development of the
independent film industry in Shanghai. It is a not-for-profit group
for creative talents in the independent and amateur film community
where novice filmmakers can learn the art and test their talents with
the support of mentors while experienced filmmakers can screen their
work and get creative feedback in a supportive environment.

Located in Shanghai, one of China's most cosmopolitan cities, ShIFA
brings together local Chinese and international talents to share
culture, ideas and expertise. English is our international language of
choice but whenever possible, bilingual Chinese translation will be
provided to allow participation of both local Chinese and foreign
participants.

It is also designed to motivate the production of new and creative
short films and features through Kino - an ongoing monthly challenge
to produce and share topic-based short films. These films will be
displayed in monthly screenings and the best films will be included in
a talent showcase shown annually

Monthly meetings will include screening that month's submissions as
well as inviting industry professionals, academics and others to
provide interesting and informative discussions.

Non-directors are welcome and encouraged to join in. ShIFA is for
everyone interested in writing, producing, directing, crewing or
acting in films – Chinese or foreign. Amateurs are always encouraged
to join in.
