Tales of Chinatown | Film Screening

The film opens with a walking tour in San Francisco Chinatown: walking into the last surviving theatre following the scene from the 1940s film “Lady from Shanghai” directed by Orson Welles; wandering from “Shanghai Low” to “Forbidden City Nightclub” – the camera follows the pace of Chinese American nightclub dancer Cynthia Yee, historians Wylie Wong and David Lei onto a journey across time and space.
