Recently, the movie " Mom and Seven Days ", which has won multiple international awards, will land at the Hongqiao Art Center on May 12, "Mother's Day". The film's road show in Shanghai has also kicked off at the same time. Director Li Dongmei will be on hand to meet with the audience and exchange post-screening feelings, and jointly explore the philosophy of life and female power behind light and shadow.
The movie "Mom and Seven Days" tells the story of the life that a 12-year-old girl Xiao Xian and her two sisters experienced in the seven days before and after their mother passed away due to dystocia in 1992 in rural southwest China. These seven days are like a miniature theater of life, with three heavy farewells and two joys of rebirth, reflecting the impermanence and tenacity of the cycle of life. These little things that happened in the countryside where the soil is fragrant and chickens and dogs smell each other are not only true records of ordinary life, but also poetic interpretations of the philosophy of life and death.
It is understood that "Mom and Seven Days" is the debut film of Li Dongmei, a powerful Chinese screenwriter and director. This film has been screened at the 77th Venice Film Festival, the 44th Gothenburg International Film Festival, the 13th Beijing International Film Festival, the 4th Pingyao International Film Festival, the 45th Hong Kong International Film Festival, and the 25th Busan International Film Festival. Awards and nominations at the 25th Shanghai International Film Festival. Among them, it also won the "Ingmar Bergman" Best International Film Debut Award at the 44th Gothenburg International Film Festival. This is also the first Asian film to win this award since the establishment of the film award.
As a reality-themed movie, the film "restores reality" to the greatest extent. In order to "de-performance" the film and return to its authenticity, director Li Dongmei chose local amateurs to perform the film. Under his careful guidance, the performances of several amateur protagonists are full of surprises, drawing the audience into their world, immersing them in the true feelings of the film, and refreshing the previous movie-watching experience.
In addition to the real-life scenes and realism style of the film, this is also a daughter's memoir of her mother and a hymn of female power. The 134-minute journey of light and shadow will deeply touch the audience's deep attachment to home and mother's love, as well as their deep understanding of the coexistence of all the beauty and pain in the world, leading to more profound thinking.
Currently, the film will be released on the National Art Federation Special Line on May 8, Mother’s Day. On May 12th (Sunday), the "Mother's Day" special show will be specially presented at the Tianshan Cinema-Hongqiao Art Center flagship store. At that time, director Li Dongmei will come to the scene to communicate with the audience after the screening, and jointly explore the philosophy of life and female power behind light and shadow.
