NEXTDoc Film Festival at The Bookworm

Fourteen documentary films created by ethnic Chinese filmmakers from Los Angeles, New York, London, as well as Mainland China and Hong Kong are screening at The Bookworm between now and August 1 as part of the NEXTDoc Film Festival.

The festival, started by a group of young returnees from the US, focuses on cross-cultural stories and aims to support emerging filmmakers’ early-stage project development as well as help them get global distribution.

The opening took place last night and included the films Country in the Country, Boundless, All Under Heaven Are Equal, and Love in Beijing. Further screenings will be held at 8pm on July 25, 27, and August 1.
