The first film will be martial arts classic Dragon Inn, a 1967 film in which a band of warriors join together to protect the children of an executed general.
Directed by King Hu, the film is a “fantastic” example of the highly stylised ‘wuxia’ genre of martial arts films.
A week later, CDC will be presenting Goodbye, Dragon Inn, a ‘touching tribute to movie going’ that follows the attendees and employees of a cinema that is screening the original Dragon Inn on its final night before closing.

“Following a year when the world has, necessarily, closed its borders, cinema remains a fantastic way to broaden our horizons,” Mr Tyson said.
“These films are hugely influential examples of world cinema and a wonderful way to escape into art.”
Dragon Inn (rated PG) is being screened at the Mallard Cinema at 19:30 on 19 January, and Goodbye Dragon Inn (rated 12) is being screened at 19:30 on 26 January. Tickets are available from the Clameur Du Cinéma website.
