Chinese Film Fest at John Jermain

The John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor will present a three-part Chinese film festival organized by Ou Wang, a Mandarin teacher at the Ross School, beginning next Thursday at 6 p.m. with a screening of “To Live,” a film by Yimou Zhang about a family’s struggles to live in China from the 1940s to the 1970s Cultural Revolution.

“To Live,” which was the co-winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, was banned in China due to its critical portrayals of certain government policies, and Mr. Zhang was barred from making films for two years. In all, he has directed more than 20 films, many of which have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, and has won prizes at international film festivals.

“Eat Drink Man Woman,” Ang Lee’s film about family relationships and conflicts between generations, will be screened on June 11. The festival will conclude with “Infernal Affairs,” Andrew Lau’s crime thriller set in Hong Kong, on June 18. The 6 p.m. programs are free, but preregistration for each has been recommended, as there is a limit of 18 people per screening.
