SP 15 Stories from the Far East


"Made in China" has long been a guarantee for rich diversity and technical finesse in the field of short film. This tradition continues to thrive in the short films assembled here from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. These animations, documentaries and fictional films cover everything from elderly men hooked on phone dating to pigs in the mass meat industry, religious brainwashing, and a smile that literally kills. Films about work, family, desire and love teeter between traditional customs and the demands and wonders of contemporary life.
