We at the Leith Kino collective are really excited to host this screening of Ping Pong (1986), an important and rarely seen landmark in British Chinese filmmaking. Directed by Po-Chih Leong, pioneer of the Hong Kong New Wave, Ping Pong bounces between noir, mystery, comedy and drama as it follows a young law student taxed with executing the unusually complex will of a Chinatown restauranteur. This was the first British-Chinese production, and one of the first shot in London's Chinatown. Ping Pong only had a limited release in London's west end in 1986, followed by one TV screening. We're thrilled to have it back on the big screen, where it remains a vital production showcasing the creativity of 1980s British cinema and a thoughtful representation of life for those in the Chinese diaspora. Tickets cost £5 and we have allocated handful of free tickets for those not in a position to pay. Please support your local Leith Kino! Drinks and refreshments are available to purchase at the Depot bar, alongside our monthly posters, each designed by a different Leith-based artist.
