Before she made\u00a0Birds of Prey<\/em>, Cathy Yan<\/strong> made her feature debut with\u00a0Dead Pigs<\/em><\/strong>, a film that premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Despite high praise at Sundance,\u00a0Dead Pigs<\/em> was never released domestically (it did open in China in 2019, though). Now that\u2019s finally going to change, with a\u00a0Dead Pigs<\/em> release exclusive to the streaming service Mubi. Per the official announcement, the film \u201cspeaks to our universal struggle with identity in the age of globalization, its diverse voices reflecting the future of American cinema \u2013 as it deals with prescient and timely conversations around equality, capitalism, and basic human connection in an increasingly divided world.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Cathy Yan was announced as the director of\u00a0Birds of Prey<\/em> there was a lot of talk about her feature debut,\u00a0Dead Pigs<\/em>. But there was one big problem: the film had never been released here in the United States, even though it premiered at Sundance in 2018. While the film got a release in China in 2019, it remained elusive in America and elsewhere. Now, that\u2019s about to change thanks to Mubi.
\nThe streaming service that caters primarily to\u00a0arthouse cinema has announced they will be the exclusive streaming home of\u00a0Dead Pigs<\/em> starting on\u00a0February 12, 2021<\/strong>. Here\u2019s the Dead Pigs<\/em>\u00a0synopsis:<\/p>\n

Based on remarkable true events, DEAD PIGS is a bitingly humorous social<\/a> satire about the trials and tribulations connecting a disparate group of characters as thousands of dead pigs mysteriously float down river towards a rapidly modernizing Shanghai, China. A universal human story set against the backdrop of globalization, drastic social change and increasing wealth inequality, the film is the masterful first feature of exciting filmmaker Cathy Yan (BIRDS OF PREY<\/em>), and stars an international ensemble including\u00a0Vivian Wu (Away, The Last Emperor, The Joy Luck Club<\/em>),\u00a0Mason Lee (Lucy, The Hangover Pt II<\/em>), Zazie Beetz (Atlanta, Nine Days<\/em>), Meng Li (The Bad Kids, The Guillotines, Young Love Lost<\/em>), Haoyu Yang (The Wandering Earth<\/em>), and David Rysdahl (The Family, Nine Days<\/em>).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When\u00a0Dead Pigs<\/em> premiered it Sundance it took home the Special Jury Award for Ensemble Acting. When asked how the idea for the film came about, Yan replied<\/a>: \u201cI used to be a reporter for the\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/em>, so I\u2019ve always been really interested in true stories, specifically [in] China. I was born in China, but raised in the U.S. and would go back to China every year, so when I read about this real dead pigs incident, it just immediately drew me in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yan is currently developing the film\u00a0Sour Hearts<\/em> for A24.<\/p>\n
