Chinese Cinema Season

Chinese Cinema Season aims to showcase the best, often little seen and underrated Chinese language films to film-lovers in the UK and Ireland. Through rebranding (via sections and mini-retrospectives) and revisiting films in an effort to give them new meaning, this 12-week, 3-month film season hopes to enrich people’s lockdown life. It will enable them to recognise, observe, and approach Chinese culture in a fresh way, from different angles and perspectives, both in the past and present, and ultimately, satisfy the desire of cinephiles with a sincere love letter to Chinese Cinema.
