Program:

12pm - A very special screening of Wong Kar Wai's film In the Mood for Love, with huge thanks to film distribution company Janus Films.

Synopsis: Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighbouring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past 25 years of cinema.

Rating: PG / Runtime: 98 mins

2pm - A speed friending session for film lovers, share your favourite film with potential new friends in a series of rapid conversations of 6 minutes each.

---

3pm - And for food lovers, we will do a special screening of Kanopy's film The Donut King!

Synopsis: The rise and fall of a Cambodian refugee who escaped genocide and overcame poverty to build a life for himself — and hundreds of other immigrant families — by baking America’s favourite pastry and building an unlikely empire of donut shops.

Rating: PG / Runtime: 99 min
