When Cannes, Berlinale, and Venice enter a New York landmark building…
On May 30, Dou Art Club invites you to an immersive film journey unlike any theater screening.Three short films, all officially selected by Cannes, Berlinale, and Venice — now playing not in cinemas, but across the rooms of a century-old New York landmark building.

These are the voices of the youngest Chinese directors ever selected by the three festivals.Through their lens, they sparked something new — and showed the world how far youth can reach.

This is not a traditional screening.It is a cinematic journey through rooms — the bedroom, the living room, the study — each transformed into a parallel universe of light and story.You won’t sit in a dark theater looking up at a screen. You’ll walk in, like stepping into a film playing inside a Shanghai lane house or a Beijing courtyard — intimate, immersive, alive.Because cinema doesn’t just capture time.It connects distant souls.

Wherever you’re from, we’ll be waiting at Dou Art Club.Come sit with us, and watch something unforgettable.

当戛纳、柏林、威尼斯走进一栋纽约Townhouse

三大电影节的入围短片,这次不在电影院,而是在一栋百年townhouse

5.30,Dou Art Club 将在纽约为大家带来一场特别的影像旅程——

那些在戛纳、柏林、威尼斯被看见的年轻灵魂在一栋纽约Townhouse里上演平行宇宙

我们精选了三位最年轻的华人导演作品——

是各自电影节有史以来最年轻的入围者。

他们用镜头打开边界,在国际影坛上留下了年轻的第一道火光。

这不是一场传统的放映,而是一场房间之间的旅行。

三部影片将分别被安置在townhouse的不同空间——

卧室、客厅、书房,每一间都是一个沉浸的影像宇宙。

你不需要坐在黑匣子里仰望银幕,

而是像在上海荣宅、北京胡同里看电影,走进去,遇见它。

将汇聚于一方银幕,向你诉说属于东西方之间、属于每个你我的故事。

我们相信,影像不仅记录时间,更连接远方的心灵。

这场影展,既是一次关于“家与世界”的回望,也是我们在异地重拾熟悉情感的方式。

无论你来自哪里,我们都在 Dou Art Club,等你一起坐下,看一场好电影。
