Matinee at Three

Set in an old cinema, Matinee at Three tells the story of two strangers trying to forge a connection while watching The Lion City, the first Chinese film by Cathay-Keris. This black-and-white love story unfolds against the backdrop of an almost empty theater, highlighting the fading magic of cinema.

The film pays homage to Tsai Ming Liang’s Goodbye, Dragon Inn, capturing the essence of historical cinematic spaces. Shot in the Golden Theatre, a modernist architectural icon, it adds a layer of depth to the narrative as the characters navigate their lives amidst the echoes of the past. Collectors of film will appreciate this reflective piece for its unique setting and exploration of cinema's impact on personal connections.
