Everything we know about it
Directed by Pan Nalin, the film is titled Last Film Show in English.

According to a press note, the film “is set at the cusp of the digital revolution and follows a nine-year-old boy ensnared by the magic and science of light and shadow that lies behind celluloid film projection.”
