One Second
Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 March 2022
China/Hong Kong | 2020 | Mandarin with English subtitles | 1 hour 45 minutes
In the early 1970s, a nameless fugitive escapes from a Gansu Province labour camp. He is desperate to see a newsreel said to promise a glimpse of his estranged daughter. It is the start of an epic trek through the desert that becomes a battle of wits with Orphan Liu (Liu Haocun) who has her own reasons for trying to obtain the film. A wonderful blend of slapstick comedy and heartfelt drama that becomes a testimony to the power of moving images and the way cinema captures precious moments in time.
