Advance tickets now available for Eternal Spring!

In March 2002, a state TV signal in China gets hacked by members of the banned spiritual group Falun Gong. Their goal is to counter the government narrative about their practice. In the aftermath, police raids sweep Changchun City, and comic book illustrator Daxiong (Justice League, Star Wars), a Falun Gong practitioner, is forced to flee. He arrives in North America, blaming the hijacking for worsening an already violent repression. But his views are challenged when he meets the lone surviving participant to have escaped China, now living in Seoul, South Korea. Mandarin with English subtitles.

5 Stars! “Eternal Spring needs to be seen…It plays out like a great heist thriller…It’s exciting, but never are we allowed to forget that this not fiction…[an] original, moving tour de force, which deserves to be widely seen.” (National Post)

4/4 Stars! “profoundly moving and without a doubt, Oscar-worthy” (What She Said)

“A thrilling, all-consuming film that challenges traditional documentary tropes and finds a way to tell a winding, difficult story with brilliant ease.” (Globe & Mail)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
