On June 15th, the 25th Shanghai International Film Festival's Film Project Venture (赌博app 赌博app) revealed its recommended projects, successfully concluding the four-day film project pitch session.
Teeming with Jiangnan Essence
This year's finalists highlighted a pronounced "Shanghai Element". Multiple projects set their story background in Shanghai, and many directors and production teams also hail from the city. Numerous projects chose the Jiangnan region as their filming location, overall manifesting a robust Jiangnan flavor. LOST IN ENTANGLEMENTS, IF I SEE A RAINBOW and NON-FICTION STORIES all set their narrative against the backdrop of modern Shanghai. Among these, LOST IN ENTANGLEMENTS narrates a story of a love-hate relationship, and mutual redemption on a stormy night; IF I SEE A RAINBOW tells the life experiences of Shanghai woman Li Qingshui; NON-FICTION STORIES recounts the romance between a Shanghai literary female youth and a delivery man. In contrast, UNTAMED travels back to the Shanghai in the 1930s, chronicling the deep connection between renowned translator Zhu Shenghao and Shakespeare.
Moreover, the director of X-PLAN, Chen Xiaoming, grew up in Shanghai. Young directors Bell Zhong, Dong Jie, and Jiajun Oscar Zhang were also raised in Shanghai. They have chosen the city as the filming location for their first feature, presenting distinctive urban characteristics and cityscapes of Shanghai in their films.
Many projects exude a strong Southern charm. HER FIRST TASTE takes place in Hangzhou around the millennium; In REFLECTIONS IN THE LAKE, former lovers reunite on the shores of Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing; TWO TIME ZONES sets its story in Shenzhen, seamlessly merging the cityscape and emotions within the text; FITNESS CLUB is set in the vibrant city of Guangzhou, recounting a tale of friendship and crisis between two girls; THE NINTH TYPHOON CLUB fabricates a tropical southern island, focusing on the balance and disruption among interpersonal relationships; Meanwhile, MOMENTS ELUDING tells a story of seemingly carefree youngsters accidentally stranded in the South, gradually confronting their individual selves throughout their chosen paths.
Venturing into the Market with Evident Growth
赌博app Project provides unlimited opportunities for young filmmakers. The works of novice directors not only find investors here but, more importantly, they gain a platform for work or creative exchange. Many young filmmakers swiftly mature here, stepping onto a broader cinematic stage. Since its establishment in 2007, the Film Project Venture has witnessed 87 projects being made into movies, with 72 participating in major domestic and international film festivals. Furthermore, 44 were nominated in A-list international film festivals, and 63 films achieved theatrical release both domestically and abroad.
Many old friends of the Shanghai International Film Festival have returned to 赌博app 赌博app with their new projects. Among the ventures receiving the "Recommended Project for Creativity" honor was the film ALL ABOUT YUYU directed by Tan Chui Mui, who served as a judge for the Asian New Talent Award at the 20th 赌博app. Her previous work, BARBARIAN INVASION, won the Jury Grand Prize at the main competition unit of the 24th 赌博app's Golden Goblet Award. This year, she returned to 赌博app 赌博app with her work, embarking on a new creative journey and inspiring the courage and enthusiasm of other creators.

ONE AND FOUR, which has attracted wide attention within the industry, took home two honors back in the day. With the industry's support, the film was completed and later achieved commendable success at domestic film exhibitions.
