You and a guest are invited to attend a special event that Asian Pop-Up Cinema is organizing in collaboration with DePaul University HumanitiesX.  It gives us great pleasure to bring ANIMA back to the big screen one more time on June 1st to culminate a new course entitled "China’s Environmental Voices." ANIMA, shot in Moerdaoga National Forest Park, Inner Mongolia, China's oldest primary forest, tells the story of brothers Linzi and Tutu who must reckon with where they fit into a new world of settler encroachment on their native Evenki homeland. Director Cao Jinling and her all star production team including the award-winning Director of Photography Mark Lee Ping Bing (Assassin) brings to the big screen “an illuminating exquisitely shot man vs. nature drama.” Admissions Free. RSVP is required.

5:30 PM Reception/Gallery Walk

6:30 PM - 9:30 PM Feature presentation followed by Q&A with guest Zimo Huang, editor/producer of the film.
