Quotable

"We've selected the widest variety possible of the best new Chinese films. ... In our official competition, the noir-mystery-art house mash-up of passion and murder in Black Coal, Thin Ice landed it the prestigious Golden Bear at the Berlinale. Chinese cinema offers unlimited delights: Its rebels, ghosts and romantics come to life through its screens to our imaginations."

Shelly Kraicer, Sydney Film Festival Focus on China guest programmer, said as the 61st SFF from June 4 to June 15 will feature six Chinese feature films and one short film.
