Vor vier Jahren fand in Hongkong die Regenschirmbewegung statt – eine Protestbewegung, die in erster Linie die Durchführung freier Wahlen einforderte.

Der Dokumentarfilm „Raising The Umbrellas“ des Hongkonger Regisseurs Evans Chan zeigt eindrucksvoll Zusammenhänge und Dynamik der fast drei Monate andauernden Protestaktionen.

Der Film wird auf dem diesjährigen internationalen literaturfestivals berlin (ilb) gezeigt.

Aus diesem Anlass hat sich kurzfristig die Möglichkeit ergeben, Evans Chan zu einer Filmvorführung mit anschließendem Filmgespräch in die Taipeh Vertretung einzuladen.

Gäste sind herzlich willkommen. Wir bitten um Anmeldung bis zum 12. September 2018 unter info@dcg-freunde-taiwans.de
