Shooting stars of film
Memet's film shows an amusing story of a Xinjiang boy buying an accordion; award-winning film The Speech focuses on China's fight against SARS in 2003; and Unfinished Lives is about overseas Chinese students and campus security.
"Reflecting the reality is the instinct of every creator and our most affectionate feedback for the environment where we grow up," says Hong Kong film producer Tsui Siu-ming.
Oscar-winning British director Malcolm Clarke urges filmmakers to pay more attention to people and show their stories.
"I often see Chinese documentaries and films talk a lot about China's achievements, but we don't often hear stories of the people who have achieved those things. Whether they are workers, academics, professors, politicians, I think what we really want to know is who the Chinese people are.
"What do they think? Are they afraid? Do they love? Do they fear? Are they wicked? Are they good? True emotions will always travel across oceans," says Clarke.
