returns with a hybrid edition for the first time, screening a total of 63 titles from 11 countries and regions and stretching the festival run from its home town of Udine to across Italy and the digital realm.
Despite the fact that the pandemic has severely impacted cinema productions around the world, the festival is able to scout a slate of new features, including those from Macao and Myanmar which will be marking their debuts at the festival. Running from June 24 to July 2, the festival features a total of six world premieres plus 11 international premieres. Among the 63 titles, 46 are in competition. Most of the films will be screened both offline and online, with varied territory restrictions.
Hong Kong has a major presence at the festival this year. Besides the premieres of Chan and Yau’s films, Soi Cheang’s thriller “Limbo” and youth dance film “The Way We Keep Dancing” by Adam Wong are also among the highlights. Seven features by young directors are screened under the brand new Hong Kong New Talents section.
The screening of Emily Chan’s love story “Madalena” will mark Macao’s debut at the Udine festival, while comedy drama “Money Has Four Legs” by Maung Sun will represent Myanmar.
