Stronger Than Fiction

26/10/2025

🎉 SCREENING ANNOUNCEMENT! We're co-presenting one of our favourite docs of the year at the fantastic Capital Film Festival - 6.30pm, Friday 31st of October at Dendy Canberra Centre.

Desperate to save her marriage, a wife hires a professional "mistress dispeller" to go undercover and break up her husband's affair using any means necessary. With extraordinary access, director Elizabeth Lo explores the way that class and culture impact romantic relationships in contemporary China. It's one of those rare and delicious documentaries which successfully walks the line between ethical and daring filmmaking. Come watch it with us!
