Confucius

Set at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, when civil war and social upheaval were violently bringing an end to the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, Hu Mei's biopic dramatises the life and belief of the legendary Chinese sage and shows the often difficult conversion of idea into action. Starring Hong Kong icon Chow Yun Fat, it features exquisitely colour- coded set design and costumes, impressive wide-screen spectacle and superb battle sequences.

With an introduction  on Saturday 4 February. This screening will now take place in NFT1 and seating will be unallocated. Screened in partnership with Filming East Festival and China Film Promotion International.
