Mistress Dispeller takes place in China, where a new industry has emerged devoted to helping couples stay married in the face of infidelity. Desperate to save her marriage, Mrs. Li hires a professional to go undercover and break up Mr. Li’s affair with a younger woman. With strikingly intimate access, Mistress Dispeller follows this unfolding family drama from all corners of a love triangle.

Elizabeth Lo’s debut feature, Stray, won Best International Feature at Hot Docs and was a critic’s pick of The New York Times. Her short films, including Hotel 22, Bisonhead, and Mother’s Day, have been acquired by colleges and libraries worldwide. Lo was featured in Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film.”
