Asian Panorama + Q&A (SI-FAN)

<b>This film contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.</b> <b>Screening as part of <a href="https://www.filmhouse.org.uk/si-fan-film-festival">SI-FAN Film Festival 2026</a>.</b> <b>This screening will have a short introduction and be followed by a Q&A.</b> Bubbling dumpling and piping hot chow-mein aside, we dive deep in the dark side of Asian cinema. From inescapable terror of ancient folklore, the faint memory of what has been lost in the past, the hidden consequences of Western capitalism; this programme uncovers the Asian narratives in identifying, rediscovery, conscious decision-making, amidst the everyday and unthinkable horrors. And yes. There is a bit of kung-fu. FILMS FEATURED: <b><i>A Bear Remembers</i></b> (dir. Zhang + Knight, UK, 20 mins) <b><i>The Air We Breathe</i></b> (dir.
