Chinese Cinema Season to Be Showcased By Movie Theatres Across the UK
Chinese Cinema Season has announced a partnership with cinemas across the UK to showcase highlights from its popular programme.
Movie theates from London to Cardiff will screen some of the biggest titles from the event online, with each curating their own bespoke selection of films from the Season.
This roll-out will include the UK premiere of The Reunions, a new film by Dong Chenpeng which is one of the first “post-pandemic” productions and the first foray into arthouse film from the successful commercial filmmaker.
Other titles available to watch include A First Farewell, a gripping drama from writer-director Lina Wang, and Nezha Conquers the Dragon King, a pulse-racing action fantasy flick from Le Luo.
