The Chinese Independent Film Foundation (CIFF) is a
not-for-profit screen culture organisation dedicated
to showcasing new and old art-house Chinese-language
cinema across Australia. Founded in Narrm/Melbourne,
CIFF works with collaborators across mainland China,
Hong Kong and Taiwan to present films that
rarely receive theatrical release locally.


TEN YEARS 十年 (2015) Directed by Kiwi Chow, Jevons Au, Kwok Zune, Ng Ka-Leung, Wong Fei-Pang (Hong Kong) 
Program: Panorama of Chinese Film Comprising five short films by emerging Hong Kong filmmakers, Ten Years imagines a near-future city shaped by authoritarian control, cultural erasure and everyday fear. Set in a speculative 2025, the film depicts ordinary citizens navigating censorship, surveillance and repression. Blending dystopian fiction with social realism, Ten Years operates as both political allegory and urgent warning - capturing collective anxiety at a moment when the future feels disturbingly close.
