Film screening under dialogical encounter (Mountains May Depart [山河故人], 2015)

Hey guys, save the date! The upcoming Thursday (13 Nov) we are having our regular film and dialogue session (Free Entry) at ISCSP/ULisboa.

🎥 Film: Mountains May Depart [山河故人] (2015), directed by Jia Zhangke

Storyline: Spanning the years 1999, 2014, and 2025, Mountains May Depart (2015) unfolds as an intimate and far-reaching meditation on modernization, memory, and migration in contemporary China. Through the life of Tao—a woman navigating love, class, and loss across shifting decades—the film charts the emotional cartography of a nation in perpetual transformation. Our session invites you to reconsider the existentialist question of what endures when mountains may depart and rivers may dry, yet the human longing for connection persists.

📅 Date & Time: 18:00h, 13 Nov, 2025

📍 Location: Auditorium 7 on Floor -1, ISCSP, Instituto Superior de Ciências Sociais e Políticas, R. Almerindo Lessa, 1300-663 Lisboa

Our session invites you to share different perceptions and converse openly with scholars after the film screening. Invite friends and join us! ✨
