Lola

Lola has been a recognized name within China since the launch of her New Film Project for Young Chinese Directors in 2001, and has since devoted her time to helping young Chinese directors realize their ambitions. This, her latest project, involves a new team of talented filmmakers and a fresh take on the use of technology in the creative process. Lola believes the YNFP is a bold venture with real potential not only to stimulate the Chinese film industry, but also to encourage China's growing cultural dialogue with the global community. Not surprisingly, in 2006 Variety Magazine named Lola as one of China's Twenty Most Influential Female media personalities.

Quotation: "I hope to see the 'Yunnan New Film Project' series appealing to the general public. While the films' direction is solely overseen by women, this by no means confines their potential. Rather than approaching the narrative from a particularly "female" perspective or exploring only female-oriented themes, the works embrace a cornucopia of fascinating stories, delicate visuals and elegant music, each suffused with distinct Chinese characteristics. Brimming with the heart of humanism, their language is still one of popular narration. It could be a comedy or a thriller, a love story or a musical, a women-oriented film or a family movieā€¦ All exhibit the talents and individual charms of our directors. These movies not only take place in the beautiful ancient cities of Lijiang, Shangri-la, and the Xishuangbanna area, but also in Baoshan's once gunpowder-ravaged Tengchong, and the divine one thousand year old tea garden Lincang. Every single aspect of our films' maturation has made us ecstatic, full of expectations and with a thrill in the heart, like a ten-months pregnant mother!"
