  • meiwenti Shanghai short film contest

    Meiwenti Productions did it again with their 7th short film contest. This one had the theme of "erotic" though this being china, ther was no nudity allowed.


    The December 6 showing of 12 short films filled the 400-seat 1930's-era Xinguang cinema in Shanghai's Bund area. Despite a few techical issues, the fine work of these local and expat directors were a pleasure to watch as well as some live performance by the spanish  musician Abraham Carmona.

    There was some good talent represented.

    A highly-stylized entry by french film maker Séverin Bonnichon of ShangHigh Production HK Ltd.relating poker to dating. There was also an artsy entry by Lucy Brydon of Bright Shadow productions in Shanghai that probed into a broken relationship on an existenstial level ( oh and also had a quick shag in the WC), while Drago Lasetich and LemonTree Productions produced a comical and erotic martial arts film.

    My film , Melon Harvest,  a story of two shy young chinese lovers overcoming the social boundries keeping them apart,  was well-received .... it was a pleasure to see the work and investment of a talented crew and a very nice HD camera projected on a 12 meter wide screen in a proper theater.

    The real upset of the night, however, was the stunningly beautiful work Dark Moon written by a local Chinese woman and directed by Gianpaolo Lupori. Lupori presented a very Chinese feel to this story but added to the original story with his unique and edgy camera style. While I explored the happy side of love in China, Gianpaolo probed the depths of loneliness and isolation and failed loves.

    I have followed Gianpaolo's work, but this was at a new level for him. Congratulations to all the 12 directors.
