Back in September, I had the immense pleasure talking with Meiyi about my programming works and CineCina’s evolution over the years. Delighted to see the piece out now in this month’s The Brooklyn Rail: brooklynrail.org/2026/11/film/p…

Finally saw the new 4K restoration of SPRING IN A SMALL TOWN. Still couldn’t believe such a modern film was made in 1948 in a war-torn China. To my pleasant surprise, this restoration recovers the complete original score, bringing “melo” back to this melodrama masterpiece

Apart from some really unnecessary newly-added sound effects :and maybe a bit overdone with the digital noise reduction, this is a huge improvement from the previous 2K restoration also carried out by the Chinese Film Archive. Hopefully it’ll get a proper Blu-ray release soon

China’s National Radio and Television Administration recently published their new Five-Year Plan: by 2030, the use of AI in all radio and tv productions should achieve a “penetration rate” of 95%. I don’t know how exactly they’re gonna measure it but this is absolutely insane

In the same document, it mentions specific scenarios that should be “empowered by AI” including program planning, content production, secure broadcasting, censorship and regulation, international communication, and public service

When I first met Joshua, he was only 18 but had already been an inspiration for a generation. Now he has already spent 6 years in prison and by the time this new sentence ends, he’ll be 40 years old. Heartbreaking
Jailed Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong has been sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment after pleading guilty to conspiring to collude with foreign forces, his second conviction under a Beijing-imposed national security law.

This Saturday, I’m introducing a screening of the newly restored RAISE THE RED LANTERN at Film Forum. This early Zhang Yimou classic had long been out of circulation so I’m really glad the audience can finally experience its gorgeous cinematography and Gong Li’s breathtaking screen again. Tickets on sale now and you can get an exclusive discount using code CINECINA: filmforum.org/events/event/r…
