How often does one hear about classic Chinese films? It is a rarity, which is why the BFI and season curator Noah Cowan, have joined forces to innovatively showcase major Chinese classic films in cinemas nationwide from June this year. Fei Mu’s Spring in a Small Town (1948) is the chosen masterpiece to jumpstart the season – a film that is considered the pinnacle of post-war Chinese film and possibly the best Chinese film ever made.
