Lee Kang-sheng joins Victor Fan and the Screen 1 audience for a Q&A after a screening of Days, as part of Taiwanese Cinema: Now and Then at The Garden Cinema.
Among the most cathartic entries in Tsai’s filmography, Days is a work of longing, constructed with the director’s customary visual rigour and shot through with profound empathy.

Throughout Autumn, our spotlight shines on an icon of New Hollywood and beyond, the living legend that is Al Pacino. Guided by suggestions from Garden Cinema members, we’ve selected 18 titles that we believe encapsulate Pacino’s intensity, range, and charisma.

The screenings unfold broadly chronologically, commencing with the 1970s classics that showcase Pacino’s method acting style, and that played a crucial role in revitalising a flagging American film industry. The latter half of the season follows Pacino’s late 1980s hiatus from cinema. This mid-career work sees a mature Pacino exploring facets of powerful masculinity across a moral spectrum. Featuring enduring favourites, some lesser screened titles, and a few purely enjoyable treats, this is a cinematic offer that you would be wise not to refuse.
The Garden Cinema’s Zhang Yimou Retrospective ran through Summer 2024 and screened a rare selection of masterpieces from his early career. Audiences also got to watch this personal message that Zhang Yimou made exclusively for The Garden Cinema.
