Screening | Factory (2025): Labor Documentary (+ Filmmaker Discussion)
In early 2020, as the epidemic erupted in Wuhan, the audience gains rare access to Lenovo’s largest production hub, documenting its struggle to restart operations in the midst of global turmoil. But this is not just a story about the pandemic. Beneath the surface lies a deeper battle—one of survival against the dual pressures of COVID-19 and the relentless strain of U.S.-China trade tensions. Inside this massive supply chain giant, both workers and managers must navigate uncertainty, redefining their roles to keep the factory—and their futures—alive. More than just a workplace, Lenovo’s Wuhan plant is a living organism, adapting, evolving, and fighting to sustain the livelihoods, materials, and dreams of thousands. As the world’s economic tides shift, this is a gripping testament to the resilience, innovation, and survival of its workers and their families in an era of global disruption.

They found a moment of comfort and understanding here, before returning to what life expected of them in the real world. In May 2018, this place was suspended. Nobody knew whether it would ever reopen. Directors: Liu Yunyi, Wei Bozhi

Thrill as Jason chases an out-of-town couple across rooftops, through Times Square, down the subway, and into diners, all bathed in the cliched grime and attitude of 1980s New York, with the added twist of a live original soundtrack by DJ 2-Tone Jones! Put on your best Halloween costume and enjoy a bloody good time. Director: Rob Hedden Cast: Jensen Daggett, Scott Reeves, Barbara Bingham, Peter Mark Richman, Martin Cummins, Gordon Currie

Dance Performance | Korean Dance Company Reimagines Traditional Korean Masked Dance
Mask Off looks beyond the ornate costumes, accessories, and visual images typically associated with "tradition," and instead delves into the breath, form, and movement that lie at its core. Choreographer Lee Jae-hwa, who has long explored the essence of "contemporary Korean dance," draws inspiration from talchum (Korea's traditional mask dance) to break away from fixed ideas of what is considered "Korean." Talchum is a traditional masked dance known for its satire of social issues and the ruling classes during the Joseon Dynasty. Performed outdoors for common people, it features raw breathing, exaggerated gestures, and energetic physicality-- elements that, in many ways, resonate more closely with street dance than with other traditional forms. Focusing on these dynamic qualities, Lee reimagines the methodology of talchum as a contemporary language of movement that speaks directly to today's audiences. The music is composed and performed by Park Da-ul, a geomungo artist celebrated for redefining the instrument's expressive possibilities with his bold and innovative sound. The charged synergy between the dancers creates an electrifying experience, delivering a surge of energy that reverberates through the entire stage.
