NIGHTHAWKS

In a sleepy shanghainese noodle bar, a nation is about to confront one of its many demons. How will it emerge from the battle? 

Nighthawks looks at the powerful effect the internet has on Chinese sub-culture. It asks how far its reach amongst the young and old, the rich and poor and guilty or innocents can go before it needs to be tamed…

Inspired by true events which have never been more topical, Nighthawks is Lupori’s fourth short film and most socially daring yet. Shot in Mandarin Chinese (the national language) and Shanghainese dialect, this film goes closer to the raw China that few ever get to see and fewer would dare show… 

Producer Charlie Moretti, the Founder of Shanghai’s Bright Shadow Films will be there at most screenings to say hi if you are around!
