Film Screening: The Cord of Life

Join us at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, October 25 for a screening of Chinese director Qiao Sixue’s award-winning debut feature The Cord of Life, introduced by Yao Chen, producer, co-founder of Bad Rabbit Pictures, and award-winning actor.

This poignant, personal film discusses themes of nostalgia, nature, and the return to one’s motherland. “The Cord of Life is a triumph”, says CinemaEscapist’s Brian Hioe, who lauds its exploration of “modernity vs. tradition in inner Mongolian music.” The screening will be followed by a Q-and-A session with producer Yao Chen and Asia Society trustee Duncan Clark.
