About this event

“Mistress Dispeller” (2024, 94 min) follows Wang Zhenxi, part of a growing profession in China built around saving marriages from infidelity - a “mistress dispeller” hired to break up affairs and restore marital bonds by whatever means necessary. Director Elizabeth Lo gets striking access to one real, unfolding case as Teacher Wang works to pull a couple back from crisis, with the story shifting sympathies between husband, wife and mistress along the way to explore how emotion, pragmatism and cultural norms collide in contemporary Chinese relationships.
