This has been a surprising year for “Chinese” film representation during the Hollywood awards season — four movies with different types of ties to China have been stirring up conversation as they make the rounds of nominations and major awards.

They will be on our Clubhouse stage at 10 PM EST on March 25 (Thursday) or 10 AM China Standard Time on March 26 (Friday).
