About this event
This is a joint presentation by Bun Bites Screening and Chinese Cinema Project, marking the 10-year anniversary of its domestic release. The screening on 12 September will be followed by an online Q&A with the director Derek Tsang. While taking the subway home from work in Shanghai, Ansen has a fateful encounter with old flame Jia-ming. He informs her of the existence of ‘Soul Mate’: an online, autobiographical serial chronicling Ansen’s former friendship with author July. When Ansen starts reading the serial, she gets flooded with repressed, emotional memories spanning two decades of her life. Despite being polar opposites, the rebellious Ansen and the modest July seemed destined to remain best friends for life, ever since forming an almost inseparable bond at age thirteen. This all changed, however, when Jia-ming entered their lives, and the three formed a close-knit group of friends; a triangle that would impact their plans for the future in a most unexpected and tragic manner.
