Empire of Silver
The Smithsonian will screen Empire of Silver, a sweeping historical epic that delves into the secret world of merchants who once controlled China's finances in much the same way that Wall Street bankers operate today.

Where
Christina Yao visits the Freer to introduce and discuss Empire of Silver, her sweeping historical epic that delves into the secret world of merchants who once controlled China’s finances in much the same way that Wall Street bankers operate today. Set in 1899, it tells the story of the hedonistic young man who reluctantly takes on the role of heir to a banking empire, where he must work for his unscrupulous and overbearing father while pining for his beautiful young stepmother. Starring Hong Kong superstar Aaron Kwok, Hao Lei (Summer Palace), and Jennifer Tilly, Yao’s directorial debut garnered awards and nominations at film festivals from Hawaii to Shanghai. (dir.: Christina Yao, China/Taiwan/Hong Kong, 112 min., Mandarin and English with English subtitles)
