Mee Pok Man: 20 Years

This year marks its 20th anniversary, and The Projector and Asian Film Archive are proud to present a double screening of Mee Pok Man and Pain. Through a mix of restored and rarely-seen material, in-depth dialogues and talks with Eric Khoo himself, head down and explore the stories, history, and legacy behind the film.

Mee Pok Man: 20 Years is happening on Friday, 8 April 2016, 8pm at The Projector. Tickets are priced at $13 and are available here.
