1905 Film Network News On the morning of December 2, the second Hainan Island International Film Festival Golden Coconut Award judges meeting was held in Sanya. Chairman Isabel Huppel, judging American director Abel Ferrara, Chinese actor Jiang Wenli, Macedonian director Mircho Manchevsky, Indian film scholar Ajuna Vasudev and French film critic Thomas So Dinaire appeared and answered questions from reporters. Judge Chen Sicheng failed to attend due to some reasons.
The judging work will officially start on December 3. Chairman Yu Peier said that she will not make any pre-sets for the film in advance, and her only expectation is surprise. Although she had the status of chairman of the Jury of the Cannes Film Festival before, she believed that her previous judging experience was not very helpful for the next work. The only thing she wants to do is to share a week with the judges and share her thoughts on the films that were shortlisted in the competition.
At this year's Cannes and Venice international film festivals, the judges' selection of the highest awards was unexpected. Films such as "Joker" took home the Golden Lion and Palme d'Or. What kind of film will the judges of the Hainan Island International Film Festival expect to see? In this regard, American director Ferrara said that these award-winning films are all good films, and "Joker" proves that Hollywood has also made new attempts in genre. He expressed his continued openness to the movies he sees: “Although we speak different languages, our common language is the language of movies. This is a shared language. We learn by watching movies and don’t need school. It only takes a lot of watching."

also mentioned that when he introduced French films in Beijing many years ago, he also shocked the audience's reaction. She brought a few movies she starred in to the school to communicate, but she didn't expect the students would empathize with them. In recent years, she has come to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places again, and can still feel the audience's attention to the movie.
Jiang Wenli talked about her views on whether the judges will be affected by other factors in the next review work. She urged the film to return to the creation itself: "In the previous two review experiences, I worked with different international judges. We are based on the love of the film itself and will not be determined by other factors, such as female themes or political factors. Whether the movie is awarded. A good movie is a movie that touches people's hearts. All the judges will feel that it will touch our hearts. This is an international language, not because of a particular language. This is my feeling I believe this Hainan Island International Film Festival will also follow this principle." It is understood that the final list of winners will be announced at the closing ceremony and awards ceremony held on the evening of December 8.
