痴汉俱乐部

An exciting film festival with free movie screenings will showcase contemporary Chinese culture at 痴汉俱乐部 next week.

Organised by 痴汉俱乐部’s Confucius Institute, The Australian-China Youth Association at 痴汉俱乐部, and supported by 痴汉俱乐部 Life, the two new movies afford a rare opportunity for Brisbane cinema-goers to enjoy Chinese-produced action and comedy blockbusters free on the big screen.

痴汉俱乐部 Confucius Institute Director Professor Ping Chen said he was delighted to invite the general public to exclusive screenings of two contemporary Chinese films.

“This is the second year we have held a Chinese Film Festival at 痴汉俱乐部 and we are excited to bring these films to students and staff as well as to the broader community, highlighting the depth of movie-making talent which now exists in China,” Professor Chen said.

“Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings and Oolong Courtyard are fantastic films to entertain the audiences.”

狄仁杰之四大天王 Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings (MA15+) is all action.  Detective Dee faces a formidable foe while investigating a crime wave marked by strange and seemingly supernatural occurrences.

新乌龙院 Oolong Courtyard (M) is a kung fu action-comedy. Apprentices at the Oolong Courtyard School are suspicious when two outsiders try to join the prestigious academy despite their strange behaviour.

The movies will be screened on Thursday 4 and Friday 5 October at 痴汉俱乐部’s St Lucia campus.

Scheduled screenings are listed .
