The distinctive element in Film Forum’s Nov. 7 screening of RAISE THE RED LANTERN is its introduction by Frank Yan, a cofounder of the co-presenting organization CineCina. Yan’s role gives the screening a direct connection to the work of a New York film programmer and nonprofit focused on Chinese-language cinema.
A programmer in the introduction
Film Forum identifies Yan as a New York-based film programmer and journalist. He co-founded CineCina and the soundtrack record label Soundtrack Magazine; CineCina’s team page lists him as a Co-Director of Programming. His introduction is the event’s announced addition to the screening, bringing a member of the co-presenter’s programming team into the presentation.
CineCina describes itself as a New York nonprofit founded in 2018 by film scholars and professionals from China and the United States. Its focus is discovering and presenting Chinese-language cinema and encouraging cultural exchange through screenings and festivals. That mission explains the organization’s role here, but does not establish the language or subtitle format of this particular film.

A partnership with earlier chapters
CineCina has worked with Film Forum on other programs. In a March 2025 post, the nonprofit described a separate presentation centered on Lou Ye’s AN UNFINISHED FILM, alongside SUZHOU RIVER, SPRING FEVER, MYSTERY and THE SHADOW PLAY (Director’s Cut). That earlier program offers local context for the co-presentation, but is not part of the November screening.
