...date. Now the jumble-toothed, shorts-wearing, former stage designer is setting his sights on winning viewers outside China. Last month, he wrapped up the shooting of a black comedy called Big Shot's Funeral, which stars China's Ge You (known for To Live), Hong Kong's Rosamund Kwan (Once Upon a Time in China) and Hollywood's gravel-voiced perennial Donald Sutherland.

Among the most vivid documents tracing our evolving attitudes toward children are the works of American artists. Using their portraits as a kind of visual social history, Emory University Graduate Student Rosamund Humm organized a show called "Children in America," at Atlanta's High Museum of Art now through May 27. The show illustrates the changing images of childhood from colonial days to the present-a vision particularly apropos in this, the United Nations' International Year of the Child...
