If like us you believe in a widely accessible Guernica, consider supporting the magazine with a tax deductible donation or by subscribing. We'll only be asking for two weeks, three times a year—asking for support from readers like you on your own terms: our all-volunteer staff gives to Guernica out of love, and we extend that friendship to you. If you love Guernica, click to help make sure an ever-growing community can continue to read, react, and participate. Each month, more than 100,000 unique readers visit guernicamag.com—even a small amount, a couple of dollars, from just half of those visitors would sustain us for many, many moons.

Our infinite thanks,

Barnard & Guernica show a film that shows contemporary Beijing through the eyes of a cabbie.

5+5 tells the story of Jin, a Beijing taxi driver who likes to drive artists. They all have his number, so whenever they have had too much to drink, they call him. Through Jin’s story we come to see a new and rare perspective onto China. Come see the film and hear the filmmakers, who will be traveling from Beijing to discuss their work.

Novelist Hisham Matar, the series founder, will interview filmmakers Xu Xing and Andrea Cavazzuti live after the screening.

I live in Beijing and would love to see this film. Is it showing here anywhere?
