Full Programme

Tinnitus (2022)

Directed by Tsering Yangkyi, Tinnitus follows a Tibetan girl named Yuzhen as she returns to Lhasa for her grandmother's funeral. A dream, in which she envisions her grandma in a temple, creates subtle connections to real life.

Catch a Star If You Can (2022)

Long, a timid and unadventurous young man, decides to leave his swimming team training camp to catch a glimpse of a meteor shower. After an encounter with a fellow teammate, they begin a journey that will change Long’s perspective of himself and his life completely. Directed by Tanya Choi Ying Liu.

Everything (2022)

In a commercial society, love has been commodified and dissolved. Ke Da, a young man trying to survive in this environment, lands a job as a store mascot and finds himself looking out for his troublesome colleague, Liu Yang. Together they embark on an adventure amidst fantasy and reality. Directed by Helai Lu.
