This year's list of Chinese movies is much better than mainland cinema movies.

Every time there is a China-related film award, it is always spit out. After all, there are too few China movies that really deserve attention every year, and most of them are shameless money-burning goods. We have been hoping to help you find some good movies worthy of attention and encouragement, so we initiated a film award ourselves, that is:

Fan Ying Spirit Award!

I believe you still remember the "Soul of the Shadow Award" founded at the end of 20 15, which was strongly supported by the media and fans as soon as it was announced.

Strictly speaking, the "film spirit award" is very different from the official and film industry film awards, and it also keeps a distance from the film awards of universities and media. This is a voice from folk fans and an encouragement to the innovative spirit of movies. The "Shadow Spirit Award" does not hold an award ceremony and does not walk the red carpet. With the help of film critics, we only reward one film every year, and use 1895 yuan (the year of the film's birth) as a symbolic reward to encourage directors to create independently and explore their styles.

This year is the second year of the miraculous award. Last year, we gave a grand prize to the amazing roadside picnic. Now that a year has passed, looking back at this film has become the best film of the year in many people's minds.

Shadan, Bi Gan, Yang Li

The comments of last year's Ghost Award are as follows:

Roadside Picnic created a poetic film with creative and impressive visual presentation. The director uses long shots and exquisite scene scheduling to closely interweave memory and reality emotionally. The flow of images combines sentimental stories with the fantasy of characters, which is vivid and creates the rare poetic beauty of China's youth films.

After discussion and voting, we finally awarded the first miraculous award to Bi Gan's "Roadside Picnic". We don't think this film is perfect and impeccable, but we encourage director Bi Gan to continue to explore the possibility of film art and create works with unique aesthetic texture by virtue of his talent and charm in the film and his creative courage. We have a symbolic bonus of 1895 yuan for the director. I hope he will continue to work hard!

So, what good movies are worth recommending in the new year?

The nomination list of the second Fog City Spirit Award is announced as follows:

These films are the works of young and middle-aged directors who we think are innovative and worthy of encouragement on 20 16. These works represent a very important style attempt or admirable effort of China's films:

The knife is in clear water, Wang Xuebo.

Recommendation: use solemn photography to condense the solemnity in daily life; With a concise narrative, it shows the conflicts at all levels of religion, ethics and secularism. The still water is deep and ingenious, which is the direction that this film strives to achieve.

Japanese walker, Alex Huang

Recommended: Huang Alex's unique documentary novel, combining poems, letters, movies, paintings, historical documents, scene reappearance and other materials, reconstructs a "windmill poetry club" which was founded in the 1930s and almost forgotten in the history of Taiwan Province literature. It not only responds to the germination of literary modernism in Taiwan Province, but also shows the individual trauma in the complicated modern history.

August, Zhang Dalei.

Evil is in China, Ma Kai.

Recommendation: Even if there are all kinds of amateurs and rough, full of regrets, it does not prevent this from being the most surprising and imaginative domestic horror film this year. At the same time, it is also a work with great charm. The director didn't receive much professional training, but absorbed nutrients from a large number of excellent horror films and combined them with his own experience. The film combines western pseudo-documentary horror films with rural feudal superstitions, making the works more grounded. In any case, this is a potential work, a domestic horror film that will really scare the audience.

Butter, Pema Tseden.

Recommendation: With exquisite long shots and solemn black-and-white photography, the film bypasses people's visual curiosity and cultural curiosity about Tibet, and tells a fable that ordinary Tibetans seek and lose their identity. Pema Tseden did not emphasize the drama of religion and politics, but silently showed the economic, social, religious and cultural situation of Tibetans in a series of binary oppositions with a smooth, natural and complete story. Cattle fat is the most authentic, pious and lovely Tibetan image on the screen in recent years, but his fate is also the most worth pondering.

No problem, Mei Fong.

Recommended: The film brings a brand-new aesthetic style to China's films with extraordinary calmness and calmness. The story revolves around the operation and management of a farm in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, showing the predicament, embarrassment and embarrassment that China society encountered in the modern transformation. Mei Feng borrowed Lao She's profound observation of China society and wrote a fable about the historical fate of modern China with three different people and their changes in fate. Between the lingering smog and the beautiful rural landscape, the film shows the unique communication way of China people and the unique social structure of China society with objective distance and restrained language. The film expresses a kind of viewing attitude in the middle view. Fan Wei's performance is reserved, and each character has a good proper limit, which is cold and ironic.

Lucky for me, Yiu-Fai Law.

Recommended: It is easy to be made into an inspirational film for emotional healing, but the young director Yiu-Fai Law has mastered the appropriate boundaries of emotional growth, fission and reorganization very properly. The encounter, acquaintance, misunderstanding and reunion of the two protagonists, in the slightly diluted linear narrative, Yiu-Fai Law always captures a sincere and credible emotional support. In addition, it must be pointed out that the film also shows strong subjectivity in Hong Kong, but at the same time it is not kidnapped by a manic political posture. The touching feelings of Hong Kong people and the true reappearance of interpersonal relationships in the film clearly show the daily life practice as micro-politics, which is more infectious and penetrating than the grand political movement.

Funeral, Zhang Tao.

Recommendation: In various interpretations of family ethics, Zhang Tao lost no time in developing a panoramic view of rural families in China. With a vague anthropological method, it depicts that rural families are tortured by modernity in the transition from tradition to feudalism. Actors on the ground, with vivid words and convincing gestures, with their backs and unknown faces in the darkroom, bear the poetry and heaviness between concrete and abstract.

Soul on a leather rope, JASON ZHANG.

Recommendation: Soul on a Leather Rope and Gangrinboqi are like a binary star system, with totally different aesthetics. Between the tension of dust and clouds, a mutually revealing gravitational system is formed. This work about Tibet means a gorgeous turn of director JASON ZHANG. Soul on a Leather Rope, with a noble piety, broke away from the shackles of mass-produced exotic narrative myths, established another set of heterogeneous myths in the name of magic, and opened up the possibility of another world between the preservation and abolition of rules.

Juvenile Babylon, Xiang Guoqiang.

Recommended: It's amazing in this year's new film. Especially in China, where commercial films are paramount and everyone is as impetuous as chicken blood, the appearance of Little Babylon gives us absolute reason to be full of confidence and hope in the image of the younger generation. The film focuses on the love story in the era of Dachang, mixed with passion and loss. However, unlike a large number of old models that lead to youth, the works actually have a magical color that is rare in China movies. In a sense, "Young Babylon" did not bring people a realistic space-time coordinate. It is a suspended and dreamy contrast, full of scars and memories. Babylonia Teenager is an exciting alternative in China's film version. If you have to compare, it is more like a magical sunny day. It's just tailor-made for Dong Zijian.

The jury of the film fan spirit award is composed of film critics and curators, who watch many films for the first time every year and pay close attention to China's film creation. They are also the most critical fans. If you have the ability, I hope to encourage young and middle-aged directors who need encouragement.

Our aim is to reward young and middle-aged directors' works that are most worthy of encouragement and support in creation and style, and to base themselves on the future. The selection rules are similar to those of the French Gungel Prize for Literature or the Louis Drucker Prize. No need to declare, nominated directly by the judges. Each judge can only nominate one work. Unlike other awards, we may not care about the comprehensiveness of the judging composition or the scientific nature of the selection mechanism. We may not care whether the results will be recognized by the film industry or movie audiences. We just want to make a sound and encourage a kind of creation. The French Gonggur Prize for Literature only holds a dinner for judges once a year, and the list is announced on the spot. The prize money is only 10 euro, but it is the most important honor of French novels every year, and we also hope to dedicate pure honor to those films that deserve encouragement.
