SNAKE WHITE

The first 4K Cantonese opera film with Dolby Atoms SNAKE WHITE is drawn from The Legend of WHITE SNAKE, one of the most famous Chinese folk love stories. SNAKE WHITE takes "love" as the starting point, refines and sublimates the essence of "love", which is true, beautiful and eternal.
SNAKE WHITE breaks the limit of traditional Chinese opera, which borrows fantastic film technique to expand the abstract expression of opera on the stage, and tells a love story of mankind and demon with tensile performance of opera, melodious music, picturesque shots and vivid visual effects to show the beauty of Cantonese Opera.
