SUMMARY:Screening - Stanley Kwan’s CENTER STAGE
DESCRIPTION:International superstar Maggie Cheung (IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE) embodies tragic screen siren Ruan Lingyu\, known as the “Greta Garbo of China\,” in this unconventional biopic by Hong Kong New Wave master Stanley Kwan (ROUGE). Praised for her moving and emotive onscreen presence\, Ruan’s private life\, which was frequent fodder for the vicious Shanghai tabloids\, began to mirror the melodramas which brought her fame\, culminating in her suicide at age 24. Kwan and Cheung paint a kaleidoscopic yet intimate portrait of the ill-fated actress\, deftly blending lush period drama\, archival footage\, and metatextual documentary sequences of Cheung reflecting on Ruan’s legacy. The result is\, much like the films of Ruan Lingyu themselves\, “tender\, vivid\, and almost overwhelmingly moving” (Time Out). \nUse code AAARI for $4 discount.

SUMMARY:Screening - Broken Rhythm
DESCRIPTION:A Q&A will follow the screening with Alan Canvan (director/writer/producer)\, Matthew Polly (author of Bruce Lee: A Life)\, and Chris Poggiali (co-author of These Fists Break Bricks). It will be moderated by AAIFF Programming Director Kris Montello. \nBROKEN RHYTHM is the first authentic documentary to delve into Bruce Lee’s unfinished film\, GAME OF DEATH\, while exploring the legendary martial arts icon as a real\, complex\, flesh-and-blood human being. Using GAME OF DEATH as a lens\, the film offers a candid\, unfiltered portrait of Lee as an actor\, filmmaker\, and artist. \nThrough exclusive interviews and rare archival footage\, BROKEN RHYTHM examines the production of GAME OF DEATH and Lee’s ambitious vision for the project before his untimely passing. Through Lee’s story\, the film grapples with larger questions of creativity\, mortality\, and the pursuit of artistic legacy.
