Event Description : Embassy of the People's Republic of China presents 'Back To 1942' film screening.
A North Henan landlord in China embarks on a pilgrimage to Shaanxi province during the 1942 famine, struggling to survive as war with Japan looms on the horizon. His house beset by starving villagers, Landlord Fan endeavors to calm the crowd by preparing a feast. But his house is burned down in the chaos, prompting Fan, his teenage daughter Xingxing, his servant Shuanzhu, and his tenant Huazhi to embark on a treacherous journey south. Along the way, encounters with an American journalist, and a priest who has lost his faith reveal the true depth of the despair that grips the country. Meanwhile, the Japanese government attempts to turn the Chinese people away from their government by offering them sustenance, while the Chinese government finds themselves forced to choose between feeding their troops or the masses.  Winner of the A.I.C. Award for Best Cinematography and the Golden Butterfly Award during its premiere at the International Rome Film Festival, 2012. And of the Best Film of Mainland and Taiwan at the 32nd Hong Kong Film Awards, 2013.
