2025 Chinese film Resurrection (狂野时代) in Pittsburgh, January 17 - 28.


The 2025 Chinese film Resurrection (狂野时代) will play in Pittsburgh from January 17 through 28.
Unfolding over five chapters that feature a dazzling array of styles, Resurrection is a cascade of imagery united by a luminous mythopoetic conceit: in a sci-fi-coded world where people have lost the desire to dream in the hopes of prolonging life, rogue “fantasmers” continue to stoke their imaginations and exist within unreality. From this magical premise, the film sends its ever-morphing protagonist (Jackson Yee) through a series of genres, from Méliès-inflected silent fantasy to wartime thriller to con-artist buddy picture to millennial vampire romance—the latter depicted in one of Bi’s customary, and ever astonishing, single takes. Even within genre parameters, the director never takes the road well-traveled, offering jolts and marvels around every corner. Resurrection is one of the most audacious and ambitious gifts for cinematic thrill-seekers in many a moon.
It plays at the Harris Theater in downtown's Cultural District (map) and tickets are available online.

2019 Chinese film The Wild Goose Lake (南方車站的聚會) in Pittsburgh, December 13-15, part of "Lost Films of COVID" series.


The 2019 Chinese film The Wild Goose Lake (南方車站的聚會) will play in Pittsburgh December 13 through 15, part of "Lost Films of COVID" series.
From acclaimed director Diao Yinan, The Wild Goose Lake is the stunning follow-up to his 2014 Berlinale winning neo-noir Black Coal, Thin Ice. Toppling box office records in Diao’s native China, The Wild Goose Lake “cements his status as a master filmmaker with another ingenious crime epic” (Little White Lies). When small-time mob leader Zhou Zenong (Chinese superstar Hu Ge) accidentally kills a cop, a dead-or-alive bounty is placed on his head, forcing him on the lam from both the police as well as dangerous gangsters out for the reward. Hiding out in China’s densely populated (and deeply divided) city of Wuhan, Zhou becomes entangled with a beautiful, enigmatic woman, who has mysterious intentions of her own. Featuring gorgeous, neon-drenched cinematography and bursts of shocking, expertly choreographed action, The Wild Goose Lake is “spellbinding” (Rolling Stone), “brilliant" (Indiewire), and “downright Hitchcockian” (AV Club). 

It plays at the Harris Theater in downtown's Cultural District and tickets are available online.
