China, a complex nation, reflected in this year’s SIFF lineup

May 10, 2019 By Tiffany Ran

This year’s Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) selection of Asian films offers a kaleidoscopic view on China, a country known for its turbulent history immediately followed by its accelerated growth.
