Chinese director Zhang Yang will team up with lead actors Sun Haiying
and Chen Chong to meet an audience on Wednesday afternoon at the China
Youth Theater to promote his latest film Sunflower.
This film took home Best Director and Best Photography Silver Shell
awards at the San-Sebastian film festival in Spain last month. It was the
second time Zhang has won a Silver Shell. He received his first one in
1999.
The award-winning film will open to Chinese
audiences from 18th October. "Sunflower" tells the story of a family set against thirty years of
Chinese history.
It starts in the last year of the Cultural
Revolution (1976), when the little 9-year-old Xiangyang re-encounters the
father he can't remember - a father who has spent the last six years of
his life in a labour camp
.
During this time Xiangyang has grown fond of his independence, of playing
with other children and roaming the streets of Beijing. But his father
decides to make up for lost time,and the happy-go-lucky boy starts sensing
that the fun is about to end.
