Lotus Lens
Screening: Yi Yi

Join us for a Lotus Lens Screening of Yi Yi (2000), Edward Yang’s expansive and deep exploration of family, memory, and everyday life in Taipei. Spanning generations, the film follows a middle-class family as they navigate moments of joy, grief, and quiet revelation. This ongoing gathering at Blooms Emporium Chinatown (on the last Thursday of every month) is an invitation to slow down, watch films from Asia and the diaspora, and come together in community through shared viewing and reflection. Each evening will begin with a film screening followed by an optional discussion for those who’d like to stay and reflect together.
