The screening will be followed by an online Q&A with director Anthony Chen, moderated by Dr. How Wee Ng (University of Westminster).

This is part of 'Anthony Chen Double Feature' jointly presented by Bun Bites Screening and Chinese Cinema Project. Wet Season is Anthony Chen’s second feature film after Ilo Ilo (2013), portraying a taboo relationship between a teacher and a troubled teenage boy who has a passion for martial arts.

As Mandarin-language teacher Ling continues with fruitless IVF treatment while taking care of her ailing father-in-law, she finds herself slowly drawn towards a promising student who seems to have been abandoned by his parents. Outside it’s monsoon season, but Ling’s inner turmoil looks set to get her into a heap of trouble.

Bun Bites Screening is a London-based emerging film club dedicated to spotlighting the voices of the younger generation in Asia and the Global South, while fostering an inclusive community for film lovers. We curate and screen films made by young people, about young people, and in support of young visions.
