Animality
Ai Weiwei examines our relationship with animals, from China and Egypt to the Danish mink farms. At times violent, always thought-provoking - and above all, a mirror image of ourselves.
Weiwei Ai / Germany / 2025 / World Premiere
Caught by the Tides
Hailed as one of the best films of the year since its premiere at Cannes. Chinese auteur Jia Zhang-ke is back with a poetic masterpiece shot over 20 years as a woman searches for her missing husband.
Zhang-Ke Jia / China / 2024
Mistress Dispeller
One of the biggest surprises of the year is a love triangle drama from China where a heartbroken woman hires another woman to sabotage her husband's affair. A love story unlike any other.
Elizabeth Lo / China & United States / 2024
The Dating Game
Three Chinese men are looking for love on the dating market in China, where the one-child policy has shattered the gender balance but a celebrity love coach is on hand with advice. A tragicomic audience favourite with a heart.
Violet Du Feng / United States, United Kingdom & Norway / 2025
Minha Park, Jiawei Zheng & Maeve Brennan / Republic of Korea (South Korea), Denmark, China & United Kingdom
