Lucrative Chinese films of the past year, such as "The Assembly," "The
Warlords," and "CJ7," are among the 36 final competitors for this
year's Beijing Student Film Festival. The films not only include
box-office leaders, but also small-budget films that have not had as
big an influence in the theaters. The 36 candidates were
selected from a record-setting 104 submissions, according to the
festival's Web site. Genres span action, war, comedy and art-house
films. Other notable nominations include "In Love We Trust," "Ganglamedo," and "My Left Hand."
The
15th annual Beijing Student Film Festival will run from April 6 to 26.
Nominated films will be screened in several local universities, where
students will choose their favorite film, director, actor and actress. Other major awards for Best Film, Director, Actor and Actress will be decided by a judge panel of professionals and students.
