Those wishing to experience how cinema has since evolved beyond now-classic Chen Kaige, Wong Kar Wai, and Ang Lee films of decades past can now avail of free admission at the theater, but be warned that there will be lines of eager enthusiasts as well. Forming part of the mall’s offerings to coincide with the celebration of Chinese New Year, in cooperation with the Ricardo Leong Center for Chinese Studies at the Ateneo de Manila University, six movies will be available for public viewing. Carefully selected, the six films — "Wolf Totem," "A Complicated Story," "Book of Love," "Everybody’s Fine," "Horseplay" and "Red Amnesia" — form a diverse representation of styles and approaches to filmmaking, and offer various glimpses into Chinese life as well.
