Our first screening on Saturday 28 September will be followed by an online q&a with director Huang Hsin-yao.

Provincial friends Pickle and Belly Button idle away their nights in the security booth of a Buddha statue factory, where Pickle works as a guard. One evening, when the TV is on the fritz, they put on video from the boss's dashcam - only to discover illicit trysts and a mysterious act of violence. Huang Hsin-yao's fiction feature debut The Great Buddha+ (the plus sign cheekily nodding to the smartphone model) is a stylish, rip-roaring satire on class and corruption in contemporary Taiwanese society.

The film will be preceded by Huang's original short film, The Great Buddha (2014), which serves as a prelude to the story of the main feature.
