An Unfinished Film (MINT Chinese New Year Pop-up)

<b>Screening as part of <a href="https://www.filmhouse.org.uk/mint-chinese-new-year-pop-up">MINT Chinese New Year Pop-up 2026</a>.</b> January 2020. A film crew reunites near Wuhan to resume the shooting of a film halted ten years earlier, only to share the unexpected challenges as cities are placed under lockdown. <i>An Unfinished Film</i> (一部未完成的电影) is a fictional archive, a subverted film that represents Lou's own way of documenting the outbreak of the pandemic. Now, when five years have passed since the pandemic broke out, when relevant memories may have faded away, we wish to encourage a memory exchange of the pandemic among everyone by releasing this latest work of Lou Ye in the UK. We believe this film resonates with the memories of people from different walks of life, no matter when or where the memories were collected. And this resonance may relate to pains, sufferings, loss, and even anxieties, and, at times, you may find yourself laughing through tears. <i>★★★★★ “An utterly unique and very important movie about Covid, the crisis that affected all of us.”</i> The Guardian <i>This screening is part of Chinese New Year Cinema Pop-Up presented by MINT Chinese Film Festival, which is supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, awarding funding on behalf of Screen Scotland and the BFI National Lottery.</i>DramaPT1H47M12A2026-02-15
