Free Films on Friday Programme Jan-Mar 2012
Our winter term listing of Chinese movies to be shown each week in the Free Films for Friday programme can be seen below.
Each Friday afternoon from 20 January until 30 March a specially selected series of Chinese films will be shown at 2pm in the Language and Humanities Centre, in the basement of the David Hume Tower, George Square, Edinburgh. The films are sub-titled and wide-ranging. Students of Chinese will find this a great way to tune the ear and improve language skills while film-buffs or Sinophiles will enjoy the wide choice of movies on offer. No prior booking is necessary and admission is free.
