Despite the enduring fascination with RMS Titanic, both in China and around the world, few people know that there were eight Chinese passengers aboard the ship, of whom six survived. In an epic journey that crosses continents, The Six follows an international team of investigators as they set out to uncover the truth about the Chinese survivors, why they disappeared so completely from history, and to right a century-old injustice. An extraordinary story of survival and dignity in the face of racism and anti-immigrant policy that still reverberates today. Join documentary filmmakers Arthur Jones and Luo Tong, along with author and marine historian Steven Schwankert, as they share their experiences of bringing the untold story of Titanic's Chinese survivors to the big screen, and discuss how telling stories of the past can help us to build a better tomorrow. How do you tell a real-life story through the medium of documentary? How is technology changing the way we shoot and watch film? And in a time of increased awareness of social injustice, what role do filmmakers and other storytellers have to play in conversations about the future? Over stimulating cocktails & delicious canapés, you will join with friends old and new in dialogue and conversation. Everyone is welcome! BIOS Arthur Jones is a British filmmaker based in Shanghai, China. His work includes The Poseidon Project and A Farewell Song, the latter of which was backed by Channel 4’s BritDoc foundation and won the Special Jury Prize for Documentaries at the Syracuse International Film Festival. He has also made commissioned films for the Special Olympics, the World Expo and Shanghai Disneyland. Arthur also regularly directs for NatGeo, BBC and Discovery. He was the China correspondent for the Hollywood film magazine Variety. Luo Tong has been producing documentary content since 2002. She has been the driving force behind a number of successful independent films, including A Farewell Song and The Poseidon Project. She founded LostPensivos films, a full-service production house based in Shanghai. The company quickly established itself as one of the go-to providers for both local clients and international brands seeking to enter the Chinese market, creating impactful TVC and web advertising content, and specialise in legacy documentary. Luo Tong has worked extensively with international media organizations, including APTN, BBC, ITV, NPR, APM, Discovery Channel and National Geographic Channel as the China coproducer. Steven Schwankert is an explorer and writer based in Beijing. He is the co-creator and lead researcher of The Six, a book and documentary film project revealing the story of RMS Titanic’s Chinese passengers. In 2006, he discovered the unknown fate of Royal Navy submarine HMS Poseidon, which became both the book Poseidon: China's Secret Salvage of Britain's Lost Submarine《波塞冬号正传》and the documentary film The Poseidon Project. In 2007, he and his team discovered two century-old wooden shipwrecks in Mongolia's Lake Khovsgol. Other explorations include the Underwater Great Wall of China (潘家口书库水下长城), and the Lion City, a sunken Ming dynasty town (千岛湖水下古城). #thefutureof is a project founded by Shanghai community leaders in partnership with Duke Kunshan University.
