Shanghai-based China Film International (Cfi) has picked up worldwide rights to Chinese filmmaker Bi Gan’s Kaili Blues (Lu Bian Ye Can), which receives its world premiere in Locarno’s Cineasti del Presente section today (Aug 11).
Based on a true story, the directorial debut was shot in the director’s hometown with non-professional actors and a young crew. The story follows a doctor from a small town in subtropical Guizhou province who sets off to find his brother’s abandoned child.
The film was produced by Beijing-based Heaven Pictures, which works with young Chinese filmmakers and has previously produced films such as Yang Jin’s Don’t Expect Praises and Peng Tao’s The Cremator.
Cfi is a joint venture between China Film Co and Hong Kong-born filmmaker Stanley Tong (The Myth, China Strike Force). The company aims to share Chinese culture with global audiences through international co-productions and collaborations.
