Before Next Spring (12A) + Introduction from Chinese Film Forum UK

As part of Chinese Film Forum UK, Dr Felicia Chan, Senior Lecturer in Screen Studies at the University of Manchester, presents this screening of Li Gen's new film in which he paints a vivid and intimate group portrait of strangers in a strange land for his touching feature debut, inspired by his personal experiences in Japan.

Li Xiaoli arrives in a small-town west of Tokyo as an exchange student. He takes a part-time job in a Chinese restaurant, where he meets several of his compatriots as well as local Japanese. All of them seem to be struggling on the margins of society, keeping secrets, facing decisions about whether to leave or stay.

Gradually, Xiaoli becomes one of them. As their lives intersect, they cautiously open up to each other and exchange confidences.
