Lunar New Year Splash celebrates the Year of the Horse with films from Asia.
In some Asian cultures, Lunar New Year is an extended holiday — the perfect time for friends and family to gather at the theatres to watch some goofy classics. We invite Vancouverites to join us in giving this tradition a Canadian twist!
Enjoy stories about family, self-discovery, and love as we share the warmth of the new year together.
