SUMMARY:Global Media Festival 2026: The Dating Game
DESCRIPTION:The Dating Game (China\, 2025)Film screening and Q&A session with film director Violet Du Feng \n\n\n\nThe film offers a candid and often humorous look at China’s contemporary dating scene\, shaped by the long-term demographic effects of the one-child policy. \n\n\n\nFollowing three men navigating a highly competitive and uneven marriage market\, the film explores how modern ideas of masculinity\, self-presentation\, and intimacy collide with deeply personal desires for connection.
