Two Chinese movies, "Thirteen Princess Trees" and "After This Our Exile" were selected for awards at the 19th Tokyo International Film Festival on Oct. 29th.
"Thirteen Princess Trees" was directed by a 5th generation director, Lu Yue and won "Special Jury Prize."
"After this Our Exile" which stars Aaron Kwok and Charlie Young won "Award for Best Artistic Contribution."
It is no mystery that Chollywood can churn out good films. It is a special testimony, given their history, when Japan recognizes China in any regard.
Just a small step, perhaps. Still I think it is an important one when these two countries on any level recognize the beauty and the contributions each has to make…and in this case, in the entertainment world.
What do you think?
