Ciné-Asie presents Art and Politics: Seven films from China Sunday, October 28, 2 p.m. Nü lan wu hao/Girl Basketball Player No. 5 (1957) – China’s first colour sports film promotes nationalism and collectivity. Directed by the great veteran director Xie Jin, it won a silver prize at the 1957 World Youth Festival. This may be its first Montreal screening. Sunday, October 28, 4 .p.m Shanshan de hongxing/Sparkling Red Star (1974) – One of the few films made during the Cultural Revolution. Despite its heavy political message, this film on a boy’s initiation into the Communist revolution is beautifully crafted. Another likely Montreal premiere. Sunday, October 28, 7 p.m. Zaochun eryue/Threshold of Spring (1963) – One of the true classics of Chinese cinema, both visually and thematically. A focus on individual emotions and the positive representation of intellectuals were unusual aspects of mainland films of the 1950s and 60s. Saturday, November 3, 2 p.m. Rensheng/Life (1984) – Rensheng is about rural life. A young man becomes romantically involved with two women, one modern, the other traditional. Saturday, November 3, 4 p.m. Yeshan/In the Wild Mountains (1985) – This unusual film is about rural life in the era of economic reforms, and was last seen here in competition at the 1986 World Film Festival. It combines bawdy comedy with pictorial beauty, and won awards in China, France and Germany. Saturday, November 3, 6 p.m. Haizi wang/King of the Children (1987) – One of the truly great works of the Chinese “fifth generation,” this is also one of the best films ever made about education. It exemplifies the director’s persistent enquiry into the relations between culture and self. Saturday, November 3, 8 p.m. Sishi buhuo/Family Portrait, aka, A Man at Forty (1992) – Li Shaohong’s work should be better known in the West. She became the most successful television director in China with Thunderstorm, a 20-episode adaptation of a famous play. Screenings are in the J.A. De Sève Cinema, 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd. W. All films are in Mandarin, with English sub-titles. Individual tickets cost $5 each, $4 for students and seniors. Passes for three different films cost $12 and for all seven films, $25. |

Public Film Series at Concordia: Psychoanalysis, Cinema & Literature Four excellent films, each followed by a critical presentation from a psychoanalytic perspective. The films will be shown in their original versions with English subtitles. Friday, November 2, 7 p.m.: Truly, Madly, Deeply (1991) – by A. Minghella.

Presenter: Martin Gauthier, MD. Friday, November 9, 7 p.m.: Holy Smoke (1999) – directed by Jane Campion.

Presenter: Diane Casoni, PhD. Friday, November 16, 7 p.m.: The Dream Life of Angels/La vie révée des anges (1998) – by Erick Zonca. Isa and Marie become friends and roommates. One of them develops a capacity for concern and a realistic acceptance of life. The other has difficulty doing that. Presenter: Dushyant Yajnik, MD. Friday, November 23, 7 p.m.: Death in Venice (1971) – by Luciano Visconti, based on Thomas Mann’s novella. An artist meets death in the shape of love.
