Dancing with water: women’s cinema from contemporary China is a film season (Feb-April 2024) curated and programmed by Kiki Tianqi Yu (Senior Lecturer in Film, QMUL) and Shan Tong, in partnership with Queen Mary University of London. The season captures a burgeoning energy of fluidity, flexibility and resilience of Chinese women filmmakers and their cinemas, resonating with the Daoist concept of yin and water as not only soft and formless but also pervasive and tenacious.

The screenings at the Garden Cinema are part of The Chinese Cinema Project.
