<p><strong>Raise the Umbrellas: Special Preview with Director Evans Chan</strong></p>
<p>Monday, April 3, 2017 - 4:00pm to 6:00pm<br />
Auditorium, Henry R. Luce Hall<br />
34 Hillhouse Avenue, New Haven, CT 06511</p>
<p>USA/HD/color/117 min/2016</p>
<p>In Chinese and English, with English and Chinese subtitles</p>
<p>Hailed as “the most comprehensive documentary” about Hong Kong’s 2014 Umbrella Movement, <em>Raise the Umbrellas</em> explores the Occupy protest’s origin and impact through the inter-generational lenses of three post-Tiananmen democratic activists — Martin Lee, founder of the Hong Kong Democratic party; Benny Tai, Occupy Central initiator; and Joshua Wong, the sprightly student leader — along with voices from “umbrella mothers,” student occupiers, star politicians, prominent media professionals, international scholars, and activist LGBT Canton-pop icons. Incisive and intimate, driven by stirring on-site footage in a major Asian metropolis riven by protest, Umbrellas reveals the Movement’s eco-awareness, gay activism, and burgeoning localism. Various anti-Occupy views, underscored by an interview with the pro-Beijing heavyweight Jasper Tsang, lays bare the sheer political risk for post-colonial Hong Kong’s universal-suffragist striving to define its autonomy within China.</p>
<p>Evans Chan is a critic, playwright, librettist and an independent filmmaker. Chan’s four narrative features and eight documentaries include <em>The Map of Sex and Love</em> (2001), <em>Sorceress of the New Piano</em> (2004), and <em>Journey to Beijing</em> (1999). Chan’s award-winning films have been shown at the Berlin, Rotterdam, London, Moscow, Vancouver, San Francisco and Taiwan Golden Horse film festivals, among others. A critical anthology about his work, <em>Postcolonalism, Diaspora, and Alternative Histories: The Cinema of Evans Chan</em> was published by the Hong Kong University Press in 2015.</p>
