During our VIDEODROOM Talks, programmer Wouter Vanhaelemeesch engages in a brief conversation with a guest who is an outspoken fan of the film. From movie-historical insights to personal declarations of love for the film or genre in question.

Sinologist Iege Vanwalle is one of the driving forces behind the ‘Made in China Festival’. Tim Maerschand is a freelance film critic and journalist. He presents the radio programme Kuleshov, is a member of the cult film collective Kuru, and is one of the co-runners of the community cinema Ciné Rio. We sit down with them to discuss director Wayne Wang’s eclectic film career, Hong Kong’s place in Chinese film history, and the political context of the handover of the city to China in 1997.

Free access for ticketholders for the corresponding Videodroom show.
