Marking the latest collaboration between acclaimed Hong Kong director Stanley Tong and action legend Jackie Chan, Vanguard is a wild globetrotting adventure and a throwback to the days of gloriously over-the-top action cinema. When a client of the international Vangaurd security agency is kidnapped during Chinatown s famous Lunar celebrations in London, this elite team led by Chan is sent to the rescue, taking them on a wildly ambitious mission all over the world. The adventure takes them from the rivers of Africa, to a heavily guarded fort in India, and an exhilarating car chase in Dubai, all the while unravelling a global conspiracy. Vanguard boasts stunning action choreography, amazing stunts, and the brand of fast-paced action-comedy that made Jackie Chan and international star.

Taiwanese auteur Hou Hsiao-hsien (The Assassin, Three Times, Flight of the Red Balloon) followed up his highly acclaimed Coming of Age trilogy of films with Daughter of the Nile, a rich and poignant drama about a young woman struggling to support her family amidst the violent and neon-soaked milieu of 1980's Taipei. Lin (Lin Hsiao-yang) works as a waitress in a fried chicken restaurant, attends night school and pines after her brother's friend, local gigolo Ah-sang (Fan Yang). Increasingly constrained by the casual brutality of the world around her, Lin finds escape imagining herself as the titular Daughter of the Nile, a character from her favourite manga series.
