Where
The Beginning of the Great Revival was released in 2011 to mark the 90th anniversary of the Communist Party of China. The film is directed by Huang Jianxin and Han Sanping, both of whom also worked on the similar historical film, The Founding of a Republic, and features a star-studded cast of Chinese actors, including Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat. The film was created by the state-owned China Film Group and depicts the formation of the Chinese Communist Party, from the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911 to the Party's creation in 1921. Mandarin with English subtitles.
A reception with Chinese food will be held before the movie.
