24 CityCannes - Chinese director Jia Zhangke's haunting and unsettling portrayals of life in modern China would not appear to be the type of movies that the Beijing authorities like to see representing their country at the world's leading film festivals. But Jia's latest film 24 City, which recounts the lives of workers in a factory earmarked for demolition to make for a skyscraper, has been selected for the race to win the prestigious Palme d'Or award at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
BEIJING, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Martial arts adventure The Forbidden Kingdom raked in 16 million yuan (2.3 million U.S. dollars) in Chinese mainland within 24 hours after its Thursday debut, the Beijing News reported on Saturday.
Chinese director Jia Zhangke's "24 City" is nominated as the only Chinese movie to compete for the highest prize "Golden Palm" in the 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival.
This classic silent movie from China, Song of the Fishermen (Yuquang qu, Shanghai, 1934) has inspired four of the most exciting British Chinese composer/musicians in the UK: Chi2 (Liz and Sarah Liew), Jiang Li and Kimho Ip, to compose and perform together the world premiere of a new contemporary score accompanying a special screening of the film.
