值《艾未未：纽约1983-1993》展览闭幕之际，三影堂摄影艺术中心隆重举办《童话》内地首映，该片是艾未未在2007年卡塞尔文献展期间拍摄的。艺术家邀请了1001位不同年龄、各种背景的中国公民前往德国卡塞尔，即格林兄弟的出生地，亲身体验这次活动。数月的计划和组织工作包括参加者的行程，从安排护照和签证，到筹办行李和居住地。
当问及1001这个数字的意义时，艾未未解释说：“1001这个数字就是比一千多一个，目的就是要突出与群体相对的个人。这个数字让人有一种‘聚集的’个体的感觉，强调了个体意识”。这部纪录片捕捉到参与者们离奇的经历，他们各自经历着自己的童话。片中语言为汉语、英语和德语，配有英文字幕，片长152分钟。
《童话》放映之前，将放映陈艾丽的短片《艾未未：纽约1983-1993》。该片捕捉了举办此次展览的全过程，从展览概念开始，经过数月研究和制作，直到整个展览布置完成。艺术家、三影堂创办人荣荣及展览组织人董晓安的访谈，使人们得以深入了解艾未未在纽约的那段时光，及其对他今天的艺术实践带来的影响。片中语言为汉语和英语，配有中文和英文字幕，片长20分钟。
Fairytale by Ai Weiwei China Premiere
Date: April 18th, 2009, 7:30pm
Venue: Three Shadows Photography Art Centre
No. 155A Caochangdi, Chaoyang District, Beijing

To commemorate the closing of the exhibition Ai Weiwei: New York Photographs 1983-1993, the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre presents the Chinese premiere of Fairytale, a film shot by Ai Weiwei for the 2007 Documenta XII Art Festival. The artist invited 1001 Chinese citizens of all ages and backgrounds to travel to Kassel, Germany, the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm, and experience the event on their own. Months of planning and organization included all aspects of the participants' trip, from arranging passports and travel for them, to the design of their luggage and living quarters.
When asked about the significance of the number 1001, Ai Weiwei explained, “The number 1001 is one more than one thousand. The aim is to give prominence to the individual versus the group. The number gives the sense of ‘collected’ individuals and emphasizes individual consciousness and awareness.” The documentary captures the extraordinary experiences of the participants as they each live through their own personal fairytales. Chinese, English, and German with English subtitles. 152 min.
Fairytale will be preceded by the short film, Ai Weiwei: New York Photographs 1983-1993, by Alison Klayman. The film captures the process of creating the exhibit, from its conception through the months of research and production to the final installation of the show. Interviews with the artist, as well as Three Shadows founder RongRong and exhibit organizer Stephanie Tung, provide insight into Ai Weiwei's years in New York and its impact on his art practice today. English with Chinese subtitles. 20 min.
