Join us for a Chinese Film: Falling City - Directed by: Zheng Dasheng Thursday, December 3rd 6:30PM-8:30PM 100 Washington St, NY NY 10006(Entrance @ 40 Rector St) Join us this Today, December 3rd, for our screening of Falling City. In this romantic film, the demure but strong-willed woman Wen'er, who is from a literati family, is married to the brutish son of a wealthy family. After he essentially deserts her, Wan'er connects with his brother-in-law, an idealist poet and outspoken advocate against Japanese aggression. The film delivers a fascinating glimpse of what life was like for an upper class woman living in Tianjian during the 1930s and how China transitioned from a traditional feudal society to modernity. Watch the trailer. The screening features an exclusive video introduction that director Zheng Dasheng recorded for China Institute along with a Q&A with New York University film scholar Ting-Wu Cho. If you have any questions, please contact: yli@chinainstitute.org or call 212-744-8181 ext. 121
