[SkateDC] Friday Night Skate In the Event of Rain

[George Marinkovich]

If the unimaginable happens tonight and it's wet or raining at 7 PM, there's a great indoor alternative if you're already downtown anyway...

A SUMMER AT GRANDPA'S
JUNE 26. 7 PM

This rarely screened early gem from Hou Hsiao-hsien, now one of the reigning auteurs in world cinema,
is a bittersweet story of two young siblings who are sent to the
countryside to live with their grandparents while their mother lies ill
in the hospital. Though traumatized by her sickness, they learn to
adapt to the ways of the adult world. 1984 / 93 min. / Hokkein,
Taiwanese, and Mandarin with English subtitles. This screening made possible by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the U.S.


With special introductions by Jean-Philippe Tessé, film critic and programmer for Le Festival des 3 Continents.
