London’s beloved arthouse hub Garden Cinema to host Zhang Yimou: A Retrospective between 19 Jul and 02 Sep.
The Garden Cinema presents a rare selection of masterpieces from Fifth Generation filmmaker Zhang Yimou’s early career, many of which have long been unavailable to screen in Europe. The result of four years of curatorial work, this retrospective provides UK audiences with a long overdue tribute to Zhang’s films.
