Chinese film fest

A Chinese film festival from today till August 10


The Indo Cine Appreciation Foundation, in association with the Embassy of the People's Republic of China, New Delhi, and the Federation of Film Societies of India, northern region, is organising a Chinese film festival from today till August 10 at the South Indian Film Chamber theatre, 606 Anna Salai

The festival opens with "Cell Phone" at 6.15 p.m. How cell phones, which make our lives convenient, can spell trouble forms the crux of the story. At 8 p.m. "Not One Less" will be screened. The film narrates the plight of a substitute teacher, who has to ensure no student leaves school during the period she's in charge. One student leaves and her problems begin.

On August 8, "Farewell to Death" (6.15 p.m.) and "Colours Of The Blind" (7.45 p.m.) will be screened. The first move is about Luo Tianyang, a talented photographer, who takes to drugs. The second film is about a visually challenged girl who makes a mark as an athlete.

"Who Cares" (August 9, 6.15 p.m.) revolves around Dr. Gu Ming, his wife and daughter who lead a peaceful life till a sense a despair strikes them. "Lin's Store" (8 p.m.) set in the 1930s China, talks about the trials and tribulations of Lin, a general store owner, who strives to be wealthy. "Seven Swords" (6.15 p.m.) and "Spring Subway" (8 p.m.) will be screened on the last day of the festival. Set in the China of early 1600, "Seven Swords" is woven around the ban of martial arts by the Manchurians, who have occupied China. The last movie tells the story of a married couple and the ups and downs in their relationship.
