Internationally acclaimed, Mountains May Depart is Jia Zhangke’s eighth feature film. This film was a nominee for the Palme d’Or at the 2015 at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
 
Synopsis: At once an intimate drama and a decades-spanning epic that leaps from the recent past to the present to the speculative near-future, Jia Zhangke’s new film is an intensely moving study of how China’s economic boom and the culture of materialism it has spawned has affected the bonds of family, tradition, and love.
