Award-winning Filmmaker Details
Best Director Award
Director of "Above the Cliff
Award Comments:
Director Zhang Yimou's "Above the Cliff" continues the consistent classic aesthetic style, a high degree of integration of genre creation and authorial style of artistic expression, refracting the light of human nature in the cold and cruel enemy-us rivalry, and opening up a new realm for melodramatic espionage films with high-intensity plot tension, black and white tone audiovisual aesthetics, and a tense and fast-paced rhythm, demonstrating superior directing skills and artistic standards. The Best Director Award is hereby granted.
Above the Cliff Film Introduction:
In the 1930s, four Communist Party agents who had received special training in the Soviet Union formed a task force and returned to China to carry out a covert operation code-named "Utra". Due to a traitor's betrayal, they were caught in the enemy's net from the moment they parachuted down. Whether the comrades can get away and whether the mission can be accomplished, the snow keeps falling and the action team, standing on the "cliff", faces a severe test.
