Based on a novel published anonymously on the internet in 1998, which became quite popular among the gay communities, “Lan Yu” was shot mostly in Beijing, without government permission, and only received a brief mainland Chinese run during the Film Association of Beijing University-sponsored ‘’China’s First Gay Film Festival’’ at Peking University in December 2001. Outside of China, however, the movie won numerous awards in various movie festivals throughout Hong Kong and Taiwan, including Liu Ye’s win for Best Actor at Taiwan’s 38th Golden Horse Awards. It was also an official selection at many major film festivals, including Sundance and Cannes. Now, the film has received a gorgeous 4K restoration, which has already started its festival run.
