Greetings from Golden Network Asia!!
We are delighted to present our three new titles in the forthcoming film
festivals:
"SEAFOOD", directed by ZHU Wen (script writer of Zhang Ming's "Clouds
and Rain over Wushan", Zhang Yuan's "Seventeen Years" and "Hainan,
Hainan"), starring Jinzi and Cheng Taisheng, is selected in "Cinema of
the Present" in the Venice International Film Festival. Shot on digital
video and converted to 35mm, the film explores the irony of how a good
deed is carried out by way of a criminal practice, and how death begets
life.

cinema accreditation passes)
30 Aug at 09:45 Sala Grande (official screening at the

"HOLLYWOOD HONG KONG", a new title by Fruit Chan ("Little Cheung",

is the second part of a trilogy about prostitutes from China: A father
and his two sons, living in Hong Kong's last and poorest shanty town,
face eviction by the government; but the arrival of a beautiful girl
from Mainland China captivates their hearts completely and allows them
to escape the reality of their lives. The film will be in Main
Competition of Venice International Film Festival.
