A haunting masterpiece from the great Taiwanese filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang, STRAY DOGS is a visually powerful work about a single father and his two young children trying to survive on the streets of Taipei. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the **Venice Film Festival**. Official **Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival**.

In Taipei, a movie theater is closing, but not before one final film is shown -- "Dragon Inn," a 1967 actioner and the source of nostalgia for the moviegoers and employees in the old, decrepit and possibly haunted building. The workers include eccentric projectionist Hsiao-Kang and a crippled cashier. The patrons include a Japanese tourist and two ghostly actors from the original film who have come to mourn the passing of an era.
