A film festival celebrating Chinese cinema had its opening ceremony on May 10th in the Cameo Picturehouse in Edinburgh.
The event included a speech from the organisers expressing their desire to popularise Chinese cinema in the UK, followed by the British premiere of Tracy Dong’s Hard Love (“炼”爱) – a documentary telling the stories of five different women and their approaches to love in urban China.

There are also multiple exclusive Q&As with directors and discussion panels to see. Starting next Wednesday there will also be a surprise film available to rent online.
The festival will last for a month, until June 10. It is hybrid, both playing films offline, as well as allowing for online streaming via its website.
