In association with Film London, China State Film Bureau and the Mayor of London, the Institute of Contemporary Arts presents a season of films celebrating the diversity and breadth of cinema from China, in particular throwing the spotlight on Beijing. Over three weeks from 20 March to 10 April we will offer a dozen films covering a broad surveying of contemporary Chinese film.
The ICA was among the first to champion the new wave of Chinese cinema during the 1980s, releasing Yellow Earth and The Horse Thief, in this season, we’re celebrating this heritage by releasing the great film-maker Tian Zhuangzhuang’s new elegant and dramatic film The Go Master. Extending the Go Master run throughout April we’re also including his earlier works The Horse Thief, Springtime in a Small Town, The Blue Kite and Delamu.
