Exclusive: Hong Kong-based sales company Asian Shadows has picked up international rights to Zhang Yang’s Tibetan drama Paths Of The Soul.
Zhang, whose credits include critical and commercial hits such as Shower, Quitting and Getting Home, has spent the past year filming his new project in Tibet. Currently in post-production, the film follows a small group of Buddhist pilgrims who embark on a 2,000-kilometres bowing pilgrimage to Lhasa.
Based on true events and using non-professional actors, the film is set against some of the most stunning landscapes in China.
“The film reveals the realities of Tibetan life rather than imposing the filmmaker’s perspective,” said Asian Shadows’ founder Isabelle Glachant. “Its incredible to see how faith sustains these pilgrims on a physically gruelling journey that lasts for many months.”
Zhang shot the film in a documentary style, without a script and using non-professional actors. “We shot this film at 4,000 metres altitude and above. We were eating...

Oberhausen Short Film Festival is held May 2 – 7 and one of the 2 oldest and most important short film festivals in the world.
"Short film is a great first step for a budding filmmaker. That's how I made my beginnings and Oberhausen was an important step on my path to become a Director." -- Roman Polanski"I smoked my first cigarette here. For years, I saw every single film at the Westdeutsche Kurzfilmtage, looking forward to those days in Oberhausen every year. These events were important for me, for my decision to become a filmmaker." --Wim Wenders

- The Festival du Nouveau Cinema is a staple event for the hardcore Montreal cinephile – it’s an event that quality-wise collects the edgier, controversial fair from the international film circuit and in recent years has started to promote not only new media film forms but the local (Quebecois) auteur cinema. Now in its 36th edition, the fest has snared some of the top must see, prize-winning flicks that will usually not spend one day in a megaplex theater. Starting today and running until the 21st of the month, the globe trotting Claude Chamberlan and the youthful programming team have once again insured the quality control of the event – nabbing some controversial films that aren’t even shown in their country of origin and some Cannes prize winners that I personally hope get a release in the U.S.The film fest opener is Durs à cuire – a docu debut

- The jury composed of Walter Carvalho, Saverio Costanzo, Irène Jacob, Jia Zhang-ke, Romuald Karmakar and Bruno Todeschini gave out a bunch of leopards on the weekend. Masahiro Kobayashi (see pic above) won the Golden Leopard for his film Ai no yokan (The Rebirth). Best Director was awarded to Capitaine Achab by Philippe Ramos (France) and the Special Jury Prize went to Memories (Jeonju Digital Project 2007) by Pedro Costa, Harun Farocki and Eugène Green. Spanish actress Carmen Maura and the French actor Michel Piccoli both received an Excellence Award (Michel Piccoli also received the prize for best actor in Sous les toits de Paris, joint winner was Michele Venitucci in Fuori dalle corde). And finally (and not surprisingly), Death at a Funeral (the Brit comedy by Frank Oz) won the audience award – this making it the 5th or 6th time that it has walked away from an international festival with such honors.
