Goodbye Dragon Inn

dir. Tsai Ming-liang // 2003 // 1 hr 22 min

Goodbye, Dragon Inn is a hypnotic farewell to a once-grand cinema, unfolding in hushed glances and echoing footsteps. Tsai Ming-liang’s masterful pacing fully immerses you in the theater’s fading world—until you swear you can hear it, smell it, and feel it around you. Apichatpong calls it the best film of the last 125 years.

"Mumblecore Madness" is a screening series that celebrates the authenticity of human communication often overlooked in mainstream cinema.

While it includes traditional "mumblecore" films, it extends beyond genre, showcasing character-driven narratives, improvisation, and guerrilla-style filmmaking. These films explore the subtleties of personal relationships, capturing the nuances of everyday life through philosophical inquiry and non-verbal communication.

With selections from various countries and eras, "Mumblecore Madness" invites audiences to embrace the beauty of imperfection and celebrate the richness of human connection.
