Film Talk at Rialto Cinemas is where filmmakers and film fans meet. After each Film Talk screening, members of the creative team will join a moderator from the Directors & Editors Guild to discuss their work.

Join us on October 31 for Yellow is Forbidden. Director Pietra Brettkelly will be present for an audience Q&A at the end.

Yellow is Forbidden is NZ filmmaker Pietra Brettkelly’s latest documentary about Chinese fashion designer Guo Pei. A brave designer chases the dream – to be crowned haute couture. But she comes from China, the land of knock offs and production lines. Will her Cinderella story end at the Met Ball?

Brettkelly finds just the right sweet spot between pie-eyed flattery and sober appraisal of Guo and her methods — The Hollywood Reporter
