main selection for the festival’s third edition will include 28 world premieres, organizers revealed on Monday. The event will screen 52 films from 26 countries and territories, with all of them having their China debut.
Chinese films that will have their world premieres at the festival include: “Summer is the Coldest Season” by Zhou Sun; “Wisdom Tooth” by Liang Ming; “Single Cycle” by Zhang Qi; “Blood Daisy” by Xu Xiangyun; “An Insignificant Affair” by Ning Yuanyuan; “A Trophy on the Sea” by Ju Anqi; “Wild Swords” by Li Yunbo; and “Brick” by Ding Wenjian.
Unusually, actor Zu Feng’s directorial debut “Summer of Changsha” is also set to have its Asian premiere at the festival, an indication that perhaps the film and its creative team have perhaps not been blacklisted. The crime thriller was in hot water after it screened in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section without its “dragon seal” of censorship approval, which was not obtained in time.
