Chinese Film Festival - 100 Years of Chinese Cinema, 100 Classical Movies

Lifelong Learning Malaysia is having a 'Chinese Film Festival' event from 29 Oct 2006 to 8 November 2006, free screening movies by many Chinese directors (mainly from the mainland China) throughout the years. There are old movies which I've never heard before, and some new and latest ones which we have watched recently (not too long ago). The best thing about this event is that there are almost 20 different locations across Malaysia for movie screenings, which includes areas from Kuala Lumpur, PJ, Melaka, Perak, Pahang, Johor and Sabah (excluding Sarawak), mostly in the universities and colleges. The movies will be screened in rooms which have projectors, which I presumed are mostly LCD projectors playing the films in discs (hopefully not pirated?). The schedule for the movies and locations can be found here. Don't forget that it's free, no need to purchase any tickets.

'Raise the Red Lantern' (from acclaimed director Zhang Yi Mou) is among the films in the list.



There's also Kung Fu Hustle, House of Flying Daggers, A World Without Thieves, and a whole lot more movies which I have never heard before in my life, obviously because most of them are made in China.

I will need to consult the Hermit's better half who is from Shanghai on which movie to watch.
