 What follows is their official press release:

ShIFA Mission 

Shanghai Independent Film Assn. is designed to be a platform to support 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.

This is a copy of the Shanghai Actors NEW Newsletter that was sent out to all members today:

Hello actors and friends,

Due to popular demand, I am bringing back the Shanghai Actors Association meetings! Hopefully this time we will have enough community support to keep it alive. Also, I will do my best to translate things into Chinese, so I apologize in advance for my poor Chinese! (To those Chinese people that understand English, I am open to correction comments.)

大家好演员和朋友们，

由于大众的需求，我带回上海演员会议！希望这一次我们将有足够的社会支持，以保持它活着。而且，我将尽翻译成中文，所以我事先表示歉意我中文写的差！
