The Story of a Small Town ????, Taiwan, 1979 A man (Kenny Bee) recently released from prison falls in love with a mute woman (Joan Lin) in this classic wenyi film. Wenyi, often translated as “melodrama,” refers to a tradition in Chinese cinema dating back to the 1920s. Characterized by their modern, cosmopolitan sensibility, the wenyi or “literary-art” films of 1970s Taiwan were especially popular among diasporic audiences across Asia and North America. The film’s lasting legacy, however, is its soundtrack — featuring Teresa Teng, whose theme song “Small Town Story” became one of the first major pop hits to enter Mainland China after its 1978 economic opening.—guest programmer Janet Louie DCP, color, in Mandarin with English subtitles, 94 min. Director: Lee Hsing. Screenwriter: Chang Yung-hsiang. With: Kenny Bee, Joan Lin, Ko Hsiang-ting. Part of: Echoes from Spring Street: The World of Sing Lee and Chinese-Language Cinema in L.A.

The OC Bruins Alumni are proud to partner with PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) for a hands-on volunteer event at their Soup Kitchen. Our team will help prepare and serve warm meals to residents living at PATH’s homeless shelter, neighbors in our community who are working toward stability and permanent housing. PATH is a leading nonprofit dedicated to ending homelessness across California, serving more than 28,000 people annually. In Orange County alone, PATH supported 2,094 individuals last year and helped 314 people secure stable housing. Their Santa Ana meal program, part of PATH’s larger PATH Cooks initiative, provides hundreds of meals daily and relies heavily on volunteers to meet the needs of those they serve. By joining together for this event, the OC Bruins Alumni community would be helping extend compassion, dignity, and support to unhoused individuals in our region, making a meaningful impact right here in Orange County.

A Nice Place South Korea, 2009 For a decade, sociologist-turned-filmmaker Cho Uhn follows four generations of a family repeatedly displaced from Seoul’s hillside slum of Daldongne. Through grandma (halmeoni in Korean) Jung, the family’s emotional anchor, the film traces their struggle for stability amid demolition and redevelopment. Both ethnographic and experimental, this documentary exposes how urban poverty persists across generations in a rapidly modernizing Korea. A Nice Place premiered at the 2009 Seoul International Women’s Film Festival. Digital, color, 90 min. Directors: Cho Uhn, Park Kyoung-tae. Parasite South Korea, 2019 Bong Joon-ho’s masterpiece peels back layers of class, envy and survival with surgical precision. Following the resourceful working-class Kim family as they infiltrate a wealthy household, this Academy Award–winning film morphs seamlessly from social satire to psychological thriller to tragedy. Through breathtaking use of vertical space — from the custom-built sets of a decrepit basement apartment to the lofty heights of a hilltop mansion — Bong crafts a searing portrait of inequality, where aspiration inevitably curdles into horror and the dream of upward mobility becomes a slippery slope of epic proportions. DCP, color, 132 min. Director/Screenwriter: Bong Joon-ho. With: Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Choi Woo-shik, Park So-dam. —Public Programmer Beandrea July Part of: (Dis)placement: Fluctuations of Home, Part II
