Description

Vancouver Foreign Film Society will be screening Shun Li and the Poet on July 27th at the Rio. The film is in Italian and Mandarin with English subtitles.

Shun Li works in a textile factory in the outskirts of Rome in order to get her papers and enable her eight-year-old son to come to Italy. She is suddenly transferred to Chioggia, a small city-island in the Veneto lagoon, to work as a bartender in a pub. Bepi, a Slavic fisherman, nicknamed “the Poet” by his friends, has been a regular at that little pub for years.

VAFF is proud to be community partners with the Vancouver Foreign Film Society for the presentation of Shun Li and the Poet on July 27, 7.15pm at the Rio Theatre (1660 E Broadway, Vancouver).
