Q & A: How Willimon Runs Fincher's 'House ...China Rejects Court Appeal for Artist and Doc Subject Ai Weiwei; No-Travel Ban Continues
Ai Weiwei is the subject of Alison Klayman's Sundance and Berlin doc "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry," which charts the artist's tumultuous relationship with the Chinese government. He gained international prominence as an artist when he helped to design the "Birds Nest" Olympic stadium for the Beijing 2008 games, but quickly fell out of favor with the powers-that-be when he criticized the Games and China's handling of the Sichuan earthquake that had occurred a few months before.
Supporters of Ai claim that the tax evasion fine is baseless and has been imposed solely due to his controversial political activism.
