Chinese filmmaker Yang Feng is directing period-action drama The Coldest City, produced by Hena Film Culture Media. The stars Xia Yu (Breaking Through, A Little Red Flower), Lee Li-chun (Hello Mr. Billionaire, Goodbye Mr. Loser) and Tan Kai (Detective vs. Sleuths, Drug War).
Beijing-based Blossoms Entertainment is shopping The Coldest City to buyers in Cannes. It is among a somewhat shorter-than-usual list of Chinese commercial films on offer at the Marche du Film this year, as the Chinese industry continues to emerge from its pandemic-period isolation to re-engage with the global film business. The Coldest City will be released in China later this year.
The Coldest City is set in a frigid city of Northeast China in 1945, a turbulent period in Chinese history after the surrender of the Japanese army. In an unmanned city rampant with underworld forces, the story follows Gu Nian, a classic figure of the gunman who...

Nine months after “The Birth of A Nation” had its triumphant Sundance debut, and two months after a rape scandal surrounding writer-director Nate Parker threatened to engulf it, the controversial film has moved into its wide release. And to recognize the occasion, Fvck Rape Culture staged a silent sit-in protest in the courtyard outside Arclight Hollywood, just as the film began its first showings at 7pm Thursday.

People began gathering a few minutes before 7, and by 7:15 the attendees — at least three dozen, along with three dogs — were seated and the candles (largely electric, with the exception of about a half-dozen pillar candles) arranged.
They sat in silence for the next 45 minutes, uninterrupted by passersby heading to the theater or the complex’s 24 Hour Fitness. Security guards, as well as a few uniformed cops, occasionally patrolled the area,...

As a result, I know many of the local filmmakers pretty well, and, as an act of both preventing an explicit conflict of interest while not punishing those who’ve befriended me, the following reviews will be presented with a minimum of evaluative language. Instead, these articles will seek to promote the Oxford Film Festival in the context of acknowledging Mississippi’s willingness to both create and screen its own brand of independent film.

Bars pump out hipsters, both good and bad, the local music scene dominated by local label Fat Possum and the satellite bands and music types. The literary scene is just as prominent, although academic and reserved. Nearly weekly...
