Dear all,
I’d like to invite you to a special screening event tomorrow Thursday the 28th of October, at 18:00 – 20:30 BST as part of the China Week 2021 at the Lau China Institute of King's College London. Please do also invite any others who might be interested .
We are showcasing an exciting film “The Mermaid” (Stephen Chow, 2016), the first ever successful blockbuster Chinese film that touches on environmental issues, via a love story between a Chinese businessman and a mermaid who is sent to assassinate him. Before the screening, Dr Hiu Man Chan and Giulia D’Aquila will have a short conversational talk on the topic of “Global Sustainability as a Storytelling Strategy for the Internationalisation of China’s Film Industry”.
This special screening is curated and presented in partnership with UK-China Film Collab. The event will be held at The Auditorium at the Strand Campus of King's College London. The venue is located on the ground floor of Bush House. This event is an in-person event only.
