A month-long celebration of China’s most “exciting and mysterious” cinema
While the Academy Awards have become visibly more cosmopolitan in recent years, and streaming platforms are bringing international films to Western audiences at a greater rate than ever, few could argue that the US still remains at the centre of global film discourse. It might be a surprise, then, to learn that greater China has in fact been the home to the largest film industry in the world for two years now – with over $7.
The festival’s mission is to unearth “exciting and mysterious” cinema that goes beyond the general public’s understanding of what Chinese cinema can be. And in May-June 2022, this is achieved with a programme of over 40 features and shorts across six curated sections – screening in cinemas in London and Edinburgh as well as online, and partnered with discussion panels, Q&As and awards.
What follows is an eye-opening fly-on-the-wall documentary that follows five women in five cities, each of whom holds a different reason for remaining single in a transitional world where many still hang on to traditional Chinese values pertaining to marriage and family.
