Doc Days 2025

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Featuring a virtual Q&A with director Elizabeth Lo.

Filmmaker Elizabeth Lo pulls back the sheets on the clandestine world of cheaters in her Venice Film Festival award-winning MISTRESS DISPELLER, where heartbreak ignites high-stakes intrigue. This gripping documentary follows a woman in China who enlists a professional to go undercover and confront her husband’s infidelity in a desperate bid to salvage their relationship and save their marriage. Nothing compares to the pulse-racing climax of this stunning exploration of adultery and redemption — except, perhaps, pangs of the heart. Featuring a virtual Q&A with filmmaker Elizabeth Lo.
