London East Asian Film Festival presents Let the Wind Carry Me (2009)

Fri 28 Oct 2022 @ 19:00 · Events

LEAFF 2022 brings a diverse programme from East and Southeast Asia, including international and UK premieres.

Let the Wind Carry Me (2009) is a Taiwanese documentary about cinematographer Mark Lee Ping-Bing, directed by Chiang Hsiu-chiung and Kwan Pun Leung.

What can be retained with photography? Where the cinema is leading us to? Is there meaning to life after all? He’s always on the road. Running at 24 frames per second, that’s the pace of Mark Lee. Instead of wings, he travels with his eyes and his heart, chasing the fleeting lights and colors, transforming them into visions of film directors, or voices within every audience. We followed the flickering of his footprints, gathering the fragments lost between frames, discovering the passion he gave to the Taiwanese cinema. In the end, it’s not just his light or shadow that touches us. It’s also the wind and the people. And more, the way back home after walking out the movie theatre, that resonate from within.

Doors open at 18.00 for a 19.00 start.

Refreshments will be available in the licensed cafe/bar.
