 nt Date Begin: 2010-11-03\nEvent Date End: 2010-11-03\n\nEMPIRE OF SILVER 
 is a dynastic saga\, a passionate romance\, and a moral parable drawn from
  historical events. It tells the story of a banking empire on the &ldquo\;
 Wall Street of China&rdquo\; a century ago\, through the tumult of the Box
 ers' Rebellion\, the invasion of the Allied Armies\, and China's Republica
 n revolution.\n\nThe lives of wealthy patriarch Master Kang\, his four son
 s and young wife are shattered by the kidnapping of a daughter-in-law. Thr
 ee Kang brothers fall victim to the kidnap\, and the\n\nclan faces a succe
 ssion crisis. Master Kang's hedonistic third son\, Third Master\, reluctan
 tly assumes the role of heir in spite of his personal and ideological batt
 les with his father. Introspective and self-critical\, he despises his fat
 her's autocratic rule of the financial empire. Their blood-drawing conflic
 t between the opposing beliefs of Legalism and Confucianism\, the two main
  thought systems of China\, is further inflamed by the involvement of Mast
 er Kang's young wife. She is Third Master's first and only love\, robbed b
 y his own father. Three headstrong characters engage in a deadly m&eacute\
 ;nage-a-trois. They must look into their own hearts and one another's\n\ne
 yes to redefine themselves and their relationships. The family and its fin
 ancial empire are transformed as greed\, duplicity\, lust\, jealousy and v
 iolence surface under the pressures of\n\nwar and a catastrophic change fr
 om silver to paper bills. Personal loyalties and financial acumen are test
 ed to the limit. \n\n\n\nEMPIRE OF SILVER resonates strongly with today's 
 financial crisis. It is a film that will provoke debate and reflection\, a
 nd ultimately move audiences with its truthful exploration of the human sp
 irit.\n\n\n\nEMPIRE OF SILVER was nominated for three Hong Kong Academy Aw
 ards including best cinematography\, best art design and best make-up/cost
 ume in May of 2010. The film also won the Jury Award at Shanghai Internati
 onal Film Festival and the Best Narrative Feature Award at\n\nHawaii Inter
 national Film Festival.\n\nStart time: 6 p.m.
