Description

This film takes us on a journey all over the world to take a close look into the art of Jade through the stories and insight of some of the jade community's prominent players. The Monterey Bay Jade Festival unites our community each year through this beautiful and resilient stone and we are thrilled to host this screening as a celebration of their weekend event at the historic Stanton Center. "The gemstone’s most alluring quality... is its intense ability to unite cultures all across the world. The film introduces us to many different peoples in different nations of the world to whom jade means something unique (and) allows the audience to understand that it is not only about cultures sharing and exploring one another’s authenticity and art but also about hybridizing, forming an altogether new product that finds its seeds in various cultures and styles."
