Bright Shadow Films

Directed by China’s young director Yang Shupeng, THE ROBBER, whose leading actors include Hu Jun and Jiang Wu, has been on theatrical release since Nov 20th, 2009.

THE ROBBER is one of the films going  public screening among the projects of SIFF’s China Film Pitch and Catch. It is Yang’s second feature film after his maiden work THE COLD FLAME.

Since its debut in CFPC of SIFF 2007, THE ROBBER has been considered as market promising and won CFPC’s award for Most Promising Project to Invest. It was well evaluated by investors and received collaboration intentions from international distributors including AVIX of Japan when it started to shoot.

In addition to THE ROBBER, other CFPC’s projects such as ONCE UPON A TIME IN TIBET by DAI Wei and THE LAST RAINSTORM by Leste Chen are now almost finished and scheduled for theatrical release the coming year.

SIFF’s CFPC serves as a bridge for the connection between film projects and investors, the place in which the young film makes can benefit from the concept of investors as well as their insight to the market. This helps young film makers better understand the market and enlarge the possibility for their project’s success.

The China Film Pitch and Catch is one of SIFF’s efforts to explore, support and promote the young. During the past few years, SIFF integrated its resource to be an effective system consisting of pitching, co-production and competition. The China’s annual leading festival hopes these efforts could encourage directors’ brave innovation and practice in arts while at the same time provide them the chance for their development worldwide. Wanma Caidan, SIFF’s best director of Asian New Talent Award 2006 for his THE SILENT HOLY STONES, brought his project ON THE ROAD TO LHASA to CFPC. His latest THE SEARCH competed for the grand Jin Jue Award of SIFF and is selected by the jury panel head by Danny Boyle as the winner of Jury Grand Prix. It’s now going for the theatrical screening in France by the end this year.

Either Yang Shupeng or Wanma Caidan, or THE ROBBER or THE SEARCH, it’s just a start. The young generation of China’s Film Industry grows fast and shows their talent to the world. The Shanghai International Film Festival will continue to set up a international stage for them.

The 13th Shanghai International Film Festival is due to start on June 12, 2010.

Nature.

A Sino-foreign co-production, simply put, is a contractual arrangement between a foreign party and a Chinese party to conduct filming in China. There may be multiple parties on each side, provided that the Chinese party/parties must be production entity/entities accredited by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) (for details, see “Structuring a Sino-foreign co-production”). For purposes of Sino-foreign co-production, investors or producers from the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administration Regions and the territory of Taiwan are considered as overseas parties.

Relationship of the parties.

The parties to a Sino-foreign co-production organize and conduct affairs of the co-production, including division of rights and obligations, in accordance with the co-production agreement entered into between them. The parties do not set up a separate entity for purposes of the co-production.

Approval.

All Sino-foreign co-productions must obtain the approval granted by the SARFT before any filming activity commences, and when the film is completed (that is, the censorship approval). Every co-production project can only be directed at producing and shooting one film, and a separate application is required for each project. The approvals are granted on a case-by-case basis depending on the relevant authority’s review of, among other things, the screenplay and the completed film. The regulatory regime captures all film genres and all formats in which filming will be conducted.

Governing authority.

The governing authority for Sino-foreign co-production is the SARFT, in particular, the Film Bureau of the SARFT. Nevertheless, the SARFT has appointed China Film Co-production Corporation (CFCC) as its sole agent to assist in managing and coordinating the applications, conducting preliminary review of the screenplay and completed film, and other logistical matters relating to Sino-foreign co-productions.

Award for Best Feature Film
ORIGINAL directed by Antonio Tublén / Alexander Brøndsted
Jury Comments: Using this title for a film is dangerous, almost suicidal. But the film more than met the challenge the title lays down. A light, touching and subversive study of mental illness that is compassionate and never sentimental. From the opening image of a fish tank being peeled open to the Mexican wrestlers tumbling in the heroes’ mind we know we had found the best film …… ORGINAL!
Jury Grand Prix
THE SEARCH directed by Pema Tseden
Jury Comments: The most challenging film we saw, almost a meditation in patience as well as an exercise in it for the viewer, uncompromising but funny and humane too. We look forward to many more films from Tibet.
Jury Award
EMPIRE OF SILVER directed by Christina Yao
Jury Comments: To the director and her cast and crew for the detail and craft on such an epic scale and in such extraordinary locations. And for reminding us, especially at this time that bankers should be kind and righteous.
