Jia backs young directors

Mainland director Jia Zhangke (pictured) will use all the 100 million yuan ($14.7 million) he earned at the just concluded Pusan International Film Festival to support young directors.

Han Jie, whose first film Walking on the Wild Side (Lai Xiaozi) was produced by Jia, will be the second beneficiary of the plan, next to South Korean director Baek Seung-hoon, who will direct a comedy named Flying Duck next year.
