Sci-fi thriller “Annular Eclipse” fills the screen with a futuristic dystopia in which even top assassins can’t be too sure they aren’t being double-crossed by a scheming algorithm.
Screening in the EnergaCamerimage Film Festival’s Cinematographer Debut section, the story of shadowy power plays, cyber manipulation and intrigue was a challenge for Dp Fang Yi, who has worked with director Zhang Chi for a decade.
But Yi says he was up for the quest to create dynamic, shifting imagery that takes us into the mind of a killer (Ziyi Wang) beset by nightmare flashes of a reality he can’t quite see in front of him. Sparks with his sultry partner (Kejun Liu) only further complicate his life.
It’s a departure from the duo’s previous film, “In Search of Echo,” a more static story of longing built on a series of contemplative images as its protagonist...

Another excellent first feature comes this year from the duo Zhang Chong and Zhang Bo who co-directed “The Fourth Wall” from a script by Zhang Bo and Qi Hao. The film had its World Premiere recently at the prestigious Shanghai International Film Festival in the Asian New Talents Section, where was also picked up by Fortissimo Films, for future distribution.
The film has indeed an imaginative and well-structured script that was allegedly inspired by a trip to Africa and a mind opening experience in its primal nature.
Liu Lu (Liu Lu) works at an isolated Sika deer breeding farm. She is a hard and solitary worker; her life looks as grey as the sky above her, her eyes dull and resigned. One day this shield of safe uneventfulness begins to show some cracks as Liu finds a hole in the fence that confines the farm and deer no. 042 appears to be missing.
