Why are some film festivals ridiculed? Some film festivals have just been held for two years and people are looking forward to it?

Speaking of Chinese film festivals, audiences who may have some knowledge will think of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers at the first time. After the confluence of the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award and the popular film Hundred Flowers Award in 1992, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival can be described as China’s untouchable film The boss of the industry attracts a large number of excellent films every year, and there are countless stars on the red carpet.

However, after the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award in Xiamen last month, the audience who just enjoyed the audiovisual feast gathered their eyes on the Hainan Film Festival, a film festival facing it across the sea. People were surprised to find that, This new star actually has an extremely strong lineup that can be called a fairy fight, and it has only been born for two years.

01 The global collection of high-quality films

wants to evaluate whether a film festival has appeal, naturally in terms of the number of high-quality films that it participates in. At the second Hainan International Film Festival this year, there are people from 61 countries and regions. More than 200 films participated in the screening, many of which have been won at major film festivals around the world.

For example, "A Father’s Liver Searching Journey", which won the Best Screenplay Award and the Best Actor Award, is a film written and directed by a Tunisian director and co-produced by France, Lebanon and Qatar. It tells about living in Tunisia. A family of three was shot while driving on vacation. His 10-year-old son was injured by a bullet and urgently needed a liver transplant. This accident, which was supposed to be family ethics, has sublimated to questions about human nature, war and even society during the development of the plot.

Prior to this, this film had already been nominated for Best Picture at this year’s Venice Film Festival’s “Horizon Unit”. The leading actor, Sammy Boaguila, also won the best actor in this unit with his superb acting skills. The protagonist award, it can be said that the double yolk egg won by this movie is well deserved.

Coincidentally, this Hainan Film Festival seems to be particularly fond of "good things in pairs". The first additional Golden Coconut Award was awarded to director Wan Ma Caidan’s Tibetan film "Balloon". The film actor Solang Wangmu also relied on his outstanding performance. The acting skills that reflected the inner changes of the heroine Zhuo Ga convinced the judges and won the Best Actress Award.

But this is not due to the bias of the judges or the political conspiracy theories of some people. Although "Balloon" has not yet appeared in the eyes of the public, it has entered the list of entries for this year's Venice Film Festival early, and it has also been shortlisted for the Horizon competition unit. Although the background of this film’s story is in Tibet, the issues of fertility, beliefs, and feelings that it focuses on are global issues that are enough to resonate in various regions.

In addition, "The First Parting", which won the Best Director Award, won the Best Picture Award in the Berlin New Generation Unit, and the "Fire Is Coming", which won the Jury Prize, was also reviewed by Cannes. Favored by the group award, "The Judgment" won the jury's special award in the Horizon section of the Venice Film Festival... This series of high-quality films gathered at the fledgling Hainan Film Festival, which actually gave a wave of surprises to the audience who followed the film festival.

02 After the star-studded jury group

gathered a large wave of high-quality films, how to convince the crowd to select the winners, this important task is weighed on the shoulders of the judges, and the luxurious judges invited by the organizer of the Hainan Film Festival Members, everyone was surprised.

In the second Hainan International Film Festival Golden Coconut Awards International Jury, the chairman is Elizabeth Huppert.

She is known as one of the most influential actresses in the world. Since her debut in 1971 with her solo film "Fustin and a Beautiful Summer", Hupel has appeared in more than 120 films, including Cannes and Venice Waiting for the Queen's Award to get soft, he also served as the chairman of the jury of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival main competition unit in 2009. Among the two identities of actor and judge, he is regarded as a figure of Taishan Beidou level. Among the members of

is Aruna Vasudev, known as the "Mother of Asian Films". She organized and established the Asian Film Promotion Alliance and made important contributions to the promotion of Asian films around the world. There are also world-class film critics. Thomas Sodinere, who has served as a judge for many film festivals around the world, enjoys a high reputation in film festivals; and has frequently appeared in Cannes and Venice with films such as "Alien Base" and "Jianghu" Bell Ferrara and Mirjo Manchevsky, who won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival with his self-written and directed feature film "The Storm Is Coming", are two world-class directors.

, the jury also has actors and directors Jiang Wenli and Chen Sicheng who are familiar to the Chinese people, but these two seem to be a little different from the above-mentioned foreign bigwigs. It is true that in the domestic performing arts circle, Jiang Chen and Chen are the industry leaders. In terms of actor status, although Jiang Wenli won the 27th Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, she mostly appeared in front of the public as TV drama roles.

Chen Sicheng was nominated for the role of Luo Haitao in "A Night in the Spring Breeze" in 2010. This is his actor's most luminous moment. Since then, he has devoted himself to the career of directing. Compared with the chairman of the jury, Yu Peer, it is really There is not much comparability; and as a director, Jiang Wenli only won the Best Film Award at the 13th Shanghai International Film Festival for the film "See You in the Sky". "Chinatown Detective" directed by Chen Sicheng exploded at the box office. The word of mouth is also good, but in domestic film festivals, they are always shortlisted and have no record of winning awards. Compared with other members of the judges who are directors, they are less convincing.

This may be a slight regret at the Hainan Film Festival, but the two of them have made a lot of contributions to the film culture of the Chinese circle. Maybe this is the reason why the organizer invited them.

However, whether the film festival has gold content depends not only on who the judges are, but also on the quality of the selected films and the quality and influence of the final award-winning film. Judging from the award-winning film selected by this film festival, it is indeed a really good film, and it does not blindly cater to fans and cater to traffic.

has been holding the Huading Awards for many years, because it will cater to the traffic, cater to the stars, and easily adjust the standards of the pursuit of art, which makes people laugh. Often, the awards are handed out to another movie because the main creators are unable to come to receive the award. The films awarded to the

Golden Coconut Award are not high-volume films, but focus on the depth and intention of the film. I hope that the Hainan Film Festival can stick to its original intention and become the best window to understand the trend of the film industry.
