World Cinema: Nezha

Tuesday, February 25, 2025 - 5:30pm to 7:15pm

Join us for a screening of Nezha, an animated film inspired by ancient Chinese folklore. Nezha won the 2020 Youth Film Manual Award for Best Animated Feature Film and became China’s first animated entry for Best International Feature at the 92nd Academy Awards. It is the highest-grossing animated film in China. The film was originally in Mandarin but will be shown dubbed into English. Lake Oswego resident Chongyang Wang will give an introduction before the film to share more about its meaning and context.

Stay after the screening for a lively discussion about the film’s themes. Nehza is part of the Lake Oswego Public Library's World Cinema Series, a monthly event showcasing diverse international films at The Lake Theater & Cafe on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30 PM.

Admission is free and no ticket is required (although food and drink purchases are encouraged to offset the cost to the Lake Theater).

Can’t make it to the screening? Library patrons can also stream Nehza on the library’s Kanopy streaming service using your Lake Oswego Public Library card number.

The Lake Theater & Cafe is located at 106 N. State St., Lake Oswego. For more information, please contact ayounglove@lakeoswego.city or by phone at 503-534-5667.
