Join Asia Society for a screening of Qiao Sixue’s debut feature “The Cord of Life,” introduced by award-winning actor, producer, and philanthropist Yao Chen (姚晨).
This poignant, personal film discusses themes of nostalgia, nature, and the return to one’s motherland. “The Cord of Life is a triumph”, says CinemaEscapist’s Brian Hioe, who lauds its exploration of “modernity versus tradition in inner Mongolian music.” The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with producer Yao Chen.
