A Summer Night at the Movies
Grab some snacks from your favorite neighborhood eatery or store, pull up a chair, and get ready for an unforgettable night of laughs and action. For our July 7 edition, we are thrilled to partner with the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival to present a special double-feature pairing a thoughtful coming-of-age short with a high-energy martial arts comedy classic!
Opening Featurette: BOLLYSINGH
Director: Prajjwal Rajawat
Year: 2017
Duration: 6 min
A 17-year-old struggles between accepting his cultural identity or changing it to fit conventional ideas of beauty.
Feature Presentation: SHAOLIN SOCCER (少林足球)
Director: Stephen Chow
Year: 2001
Duration: 87 min
All his life, an ordinary young man (Stephen Chow) has been treated like dirt. Still, he's never given up believing that all the world's problems could be solved with a little kung fu. So he's teaming up with a band of misfits—six friends who were kung fu masters in their youth—to form a soccer team that only he believes has a chance to win a $1 million grand prize. Together, they're going to apply their hidden talents to a whole new game—and soccer will never be the same.
