Here are some photos from La Commune (Paris, 1871)’s mainland China premiere on March 26 at the Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art, followed by a discussion about the film with guest speakers Dick Chu and Deng Siu Wah from Hong Kong, Andrew Yu from Beijing, and Tang Shui’en from Wuhan. We’d like to express our gratitude to UCCA, the event’s co-organiser for all their support.
