Free Screening of "Into the Mortal World" at East Kowloon Cultural Centre

Chinese Mainland Film Panorama 2026 brings the animated feature "Into the Mortal World" to East Kowloon Cultural Centre (The Spot) on 1 November 2026 (Sunday) at 4:30pm. It is a free programme.

The 2024 film runs 118 minutes, in Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles, with a short film after the feature. Its story draws on the Cowherd and Weaver Girl legend: Weaver Girl's descendant Jin Feng comes down to the mortal world and joins his long-lost sister Yu Lu (Xiaofan) on an adventure, with family at its heart. It also brings the 28 lunar mansions into a feature film for the first time.

The film began as a 2020 graduation short at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, later completed over five years by more than 2,000 animation artists. Check the LCSD listing for free ticket arrangements.

Editor’s noteA free animated screening that suits anyone curious about Chinese-language animation without spending money; check the LCSD listing for ticket arrangements first.
