Sanmao: The Desert Bride (Sanmao: La novia del desierto) is a bibliography of the cult Taiwanese writer Echo Chen Ping, known by her pen name of Sanmao, and offers a mode of examining the intercultural intersections that shaped Sanmao’s publications.

In the weekend’s final film Magaluf Ghost Town, tourism and the economy in the Balearic Islands offer a way of looking at intersecting lives in a town where many resort towns coexist.
