REBORN IN LOVE by Zhao Shuo

A visual masterpiece depicting a haunting love story which reflects a world in which some choose to reach in search of answers. But after traveling many miles, they realize that many things in the world do not have a definitive answer. Finding oneself is the ultimate goal. Life is unpredictable. When one door closes, hope expects another window to surely open. But will it?

TONIGHT we are showing our Feature Film 'Reborn in Love' by the incredibly talented Zhao Shuo at the Soho Hotel Cinema. The feature will be followed by our awards ceremony as we celebrate the incredible films that have been a part of our festival this year!

We want to thank everyone for who has been a part of the festival in every way, shape and form, you have made it such a great one this year. We have only two more nights left before we say 'see you next year'
