Six Chinese feature films slated for
screening at Tokyo festival
(2003-10-28 10:03) (China Daily)
Chinese movie insiders hope to use this year's Tokyo
International Film Festival as a showcase for the country's "new
look" film industry.
In addition to "Nuan," which will compete for major awards with
14 other productions from across the world, there are five other
movies from the Chinese mainland that will be screened.
"Tiandi Yingxiong (Warriors of Heaven and Earth)," an action
epic which has been hailed by many as the "first ever domestic
blockbuster in China," will be shown on the opening night.
He Ping, director of "Warriors of Heaven and Earth," and major
actors and actress including Jiang Wen, Wang Xueqi and Vicki
Zhao (Zhao Wei) have also been invited to attend the event.
In the "Winds from Asia" section, four Chinese movies will also
be shown. They are: "Dongzhi (The Coldest Day)" directed by
first-timer Xie Dong; "Wo he Baba (My Father and I)" directed by
one of China's hottest movie actresses Xu Jinglei;
"Shijieshang Zuiteng Wo de Nageren Qule (Gone is the one who
held me dearest in the world)" directed by Ma Xiaoying and "Wo
Ai Ni (I Love you)" directed by Zhang Yuan and starring Xu
Jinglei and Tong Dawei.
Famous Chinese actress Gong Li is the president of the
competition jury.
Because of these "Chinese elements," China's movie fans have
shown particular interest in the Tokyo festival.
In order to cater to that, China Central Television has sent a
four-member crew to Tokyo. Its movie channel has also opened a
special programme to cover the event, scheduled to broadcast
daily for 10 consecutive days, starting November 1. |
